I know you are supposed to bend backwards for an ocassional physicaly challenged, but I'd rather bend backwards for most than for one in a thousand. While, if possible, making things usable to as many of the challenged as I reasonably can. But I refuse to make things convenient for the few if it means making them inconvenient for most. We might print all books in braile so that the blind (that's probably a forbidden word in the current newspeak) can read them, right? Oh, wait, the rest of the people could not. Each and every one of us has some challenges, physical or not, that he/she has to put up with. I ain't gonna speak about mine.
