This, to me, is a clear case of unintended consequences, and probably not what those who drafted the ADA had in mind.
In a sense, true. Except that I don't think ANYONE could have anticipated this result, when the ADA was enacted. This is the kind of insane PC nonsense that we all should resist.
Jim please! "All the (((politicians))) are just misunderstood, well meaning, good intention folk, trying their best to create a better world. Daffodils and rainbows -will- save the world." Most politicians never even read the acts they vote on, except to ensure their pet pork barrel is included in clear and unambiguous terms, and besides "more legislation is always better", of course.
