Hi olusegun: I hope you recognize mylittle posting for what it was - just a bit of sarcastic fiction to make a point. I have posted for years about the slow drip, drip, drip of the loss of aggressive impact on government policies and enforcement by the disabled community at large. There are allot of excuses, er let me rephrase that, reasons why this has happened but as you know my base philosophy... Your fault, My fault, nobodys fault - just get the job done. The job for the disabled community, the blind community in particular, is to maintain pressure on government to improve accessibility of new technologies and living conditions where possible - Not just where it makes a fatter bottom line to the Capitalist Corporations or allows some beurocrat a longer lunch break. I know this why? Well, like you I have had to try and make a buck, actually been a government beurocrat, worked for several companies and even been self-employed at one point. but then I do also have the visibility of being blind and so recognize the problem from both sides of the equation and thus know the potential solution(s) which nobody seems willing to buy as it were because it takes effort and might be hard, require some money, and not just once but over and over again and again over years and years of vigilance not to mention leadership with organizational skills and the balls to get the job done (see above). Have a good year for yourself and your family. As always, good hunting olusegun! Rick USA
