Sigh.

The Department of Justice is planning to make the Americans With Disabilities Act even weaker.

To me, from the lawyer social worker perspective, the ADA represents to me those things that people should be doing that they aren't and that the law must make them do. I don't like that, in general, but I believe that it is one of the better incarnations of making legislation out of the kind of sort of moral imperatives that I would think everyone should recognize that get lost in the face of capitalism and the profit motive.

Which is probably why, as I read the Philly article, I kept thinking, do these businesses have any idea how much they may lose in the long-run? In concrete and reputation terms?

(I did a fair amount with the ADA when I worked at a mental health agency so looked at it from the substance abuse aspects for several years.); 5:55 PM

2. This blog mixes reporting and opinion, but is weighted toward the former. I generally publish and link to what I think is important, interesting, and under-reported -- not what I necessarily agree with. I'm more interested in conversation than conversion.

3. Comments are moderated. Libel, off-topic comments, ad hominem attacks and spam are deleted. Criticism and corrections are welcome.
