The blind are insane!!! (Score 1)

I get SOOO sick and tired of the "disabled" (yes, I am NOT using the sill-ass PC phrase) trying to get every place accessible to them! Not that I am defending AOL (don't get me started on them), but IMNSHO no one should be forced to make anything of theirs "handicapped accessible"! If a place like AOL, or McDonalds or even Sears wants to not make things handicapped accessible, who cares? No one is forcing them to go there or use their products!!! Sure it would be *nice* for these places to make it easier to be used by the handicapped, but why enforce it? Can't use AOL because you're blind??? So sorry... try someplace else... can't find anyplace else??? So sorry, but it's not like a hospital! You aren't going to be left for dead if you can't use AOL. It's not like AOL is a life-or-death necessity.

I sympathize with the blind, the deaf, the parapalegic, etc... I really do. I know that if I were in their shoes I would be miserable; but I still do not think that places (especially websites) should be MADE to cater to every single demographic. That's like saying that there is too much of the color red on their site, and since some people are red-green color blind they should not use those colors. Pretty soon people will want every aspect of our lives determined by a standard (whether it is a religious, lifestyle, or access basis, it is ALL scary), and that, dear readers, is a frightening thought.
