HOW MANY MUST PAY THE PRICE
What some call "liberty", others, such as Nick, might call Death. Making All Public Buildings, even those that are State and Locally Owned, Accessible for Americans With Disabilities harmed no one's freedom. Yes, it may have made them a little bit more expensive to build, but to any and all Civilized People, Life, Dignity and Liberty ALWAYS, or at least should always, trump money. Greg Abbott and the other Attorneys General who sued saying that The Americans With Disabilities Act should not apply to State and Locally Owned PUBLIC Buildings were wrong to bring the suit in the first place, and The Majority of The Supreme Court was wrong to rule in their favor. Are not Americans with Disabilities part of The American Public and also the PUBLIC of whatever State they live in? So why should they not have the Right, by law, to equal access to all PUBLIC Buildings, even those that are State and Locally Owned? Some may say that there is not the need for these to be codified by law because such buildings will be built accessible anyway, since it is the right thing to do. They are half right, it is The Right Thing To Do, bit if that alone was enough, there would not have been the need for The Americans With Disabilities Act in The First Place. So how many Americans With Disabilities have to die because the State or Locally Owned Public Building they are in is not equipped for people with disabilities before everyone realizes that the Suit and The ruling were MORALLY and legally wrong, and more importantly does something about it? How many must pay "THE PRICE OF WHAT SOME CALL LIBERTY"?
