The ADA promised disabled people jobs and a chance to fit into society if
the disabled would simply try.
I went through the discrimination that existed prior to ADA. Maybe I missed
something, but I don't see more disabled working. I don't see older government
buildings being refitted. Older privately owned buildings are "grand fathered"
in. The ADA makes it impossible to sue. At best, you can get a hearing to see if
your asking for something practical. Curb cuts are more common, but there is
still a lot of them that take you into an intersection and then nothing to help
you on the other side. Blind people still can't find the brail plaques. Hospital
rooms aren"t even designed to be wheelchair accessible.
If I'm out of bounds here, please tell me what I'm not getting? I'm not trying to be facetious but damn, the only thing I've gotten from the ADA is a good parking place that I regularly share with the village idiot who also got a special parking card in leu of a lollipop on his last visit to the free clinic. john
