Hello John:
I have not heard of any such pending US legislation. Such a law, if
enacted, would probably be nullified by the courts on the grounds
that it would inhibit freedom of speech. Civil libertarians would argue
that our 1st Ammendment rights give everyone the right to express any
kind of crazy opinion, and that artists have the right to paint with
whatever colors they like regardless of how ugly the combination looks
to some of us, even if an overwhelming majority should agree that the
colors are very poorly chosen. I also have experienced many problems in
attempting to read web pages where there is insufficient contrast
between font colors and background color; however, I support the right
of web designers to create ugly looking pages. Also I support everyone's
right to disagree with me and to disagree with you.
Regards,
Sam Heywood
