I think you'll find the people of Tibet didn't build Mount Everest and
weren't even able to influence its design.
 
Target chose to design their site the way they did, and a professional
designer would have known that they were excluding some people from using
the website. In the face of such wilful or ignorant behaviour I believe it
is necessary to legislate. Sure it's inconvenient to have to worry about
people with disabilities and incur additional costs to support them, but
it's a mark of a civilised country that we do. At least where I live.

"Or do you think that your right to 'do what the hell you like' outweighs
other people's right to be treated equally?"

Be treated equally? They have to CHOOSE to visit the site. So, because they
want (want need)to do something, others should accommodate?

I want to visit the summit of mount everest... I suppose the people of tibet
should install an escalator just so I can reach the top due to my
less-then-perfect phisical status. Damn them for not allowing me to the
summit, I'm going to sue. 

Idiocy.
