it is discriminatory and inflamatory. it is just like some maneuvers I
have seen to keep the little guy from opperating in the braille
production business. I don't think there is a place for this kind of
thinking in the ada and if you took it to the d o j, I don't think it
would stand up. If you are being denied a service you are being denied
a service and that is that.

They did it "to protect me from bad people." Nfb, ACB, and the
state school for the blind aren't interested in doing anything about it
so I just live with it.
