This comes a blurb re: myths and facts about the ADA produced by the
Department of Justice @ http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/pubs/mythfct.txt

MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

MYTH:  ADA suits are flooding the courts.

FACT:  The ADA has resulted in a surprisingly small number of
lawsuits -- only about 650 nationwide in five years.  That's tiny
compared to the 6 million businesses; 666,000 public and private
employers; and 80,000 units of state and local government that
must comply.
