I would agree, except for the fact that the Federal government hasn't
done jack in regards to their blind employees, but I guess it can't get
any worse. Oh!  I shouldn't say that.

Websites

I agree with the idea of broadening ADA to include websites and
software. I encounter these issues all the time, and arguing 508 doesn't
get me anywhere because that seems to be very narrow in scope. this is
the next step toward equal access. the first step was getting into the
building; now we've got to be able to do things once inside.

And without turning this into a Republicans-vs-Democrats discussion, the
federal government needs to step in because the free market and the
natural order hasn't done jack.
