Ive not heard of laws being changed in this country for the bad concerning 
the rights of people.  ADA does not cost any more money than was spent 
before it over all.  How about the civil rights act?

Companys want to do business.  Point them to target.

I understand where you are coming from.  However, if this economic
scenario plays out into something permanently bad, laws will be changed
whether blind people like it or not.
Laws can and are changed as society sees fit; and as needs of a time
dictate.
So-called rights such as accessability are a product of a society of
plenty.  If a society moves towards survival mode, these kinds of rights
become trivial and are replaced by something else.

Just because you have a right today doesn't mean you will have it
tomorrow.  It only exists until the next law comes down the pike.



Optasia Ministry offers a wide variety of free electronic Christian 
resources to
blind US residents;
Many of these are not available otherwise in free electronic format, and
some are particularly formatted for use on legacy and current portable 
reading devices.
Distributed on DVD and cds, details and a catalog can be found at
