EVERY TYRANT STARTS SOMEWHERE

There is a beginning to every Tyranny. Public Restrooms remaining accessible to people with disabilities may seem like a small matter to people without disabilities, but to those with disabilities IT IS NOT. However, there is more at stake than just bars in at least one toilet stall in every public restroom. If Conservatives can take away People With Disabilities' "Right To Pea", where will they stop? Making Pubic Restrooms inaccessible is just the beginning. If we as a society are prepared to say that People With Disabilities do not even have the right to use the restroom in public buildings, where are we going to draw the line where equal access can not be ended. And if there is no line, then Equal Access at all may soon disappear. Every tyrant starts somewhere, usually painting themselves as a defender of someone's liberty, but once they've got their foot in the door, they are difficult if not impossible to dislodge. If we let those who do not care if people with disabilities have Equal Access to ALL public restrooms have their way in this, they will keep pushing until Equal Access is gone altogether. If they can make something as basic as using the restroom impossible for People With Disabilities in State and Locally Owned Public Buildings, less basic matters will be soon to follow. And soon, they're Tyranny will be complete over Everyone With Any Kind of Disability At All, Period. As I have said, every Tyrant needs a place to start, to get their foot in the door. So, to all of my readers, I say, LET US NOT LET THE TYRANNY OF CONSERVATISM GET ITS FOOT IN THE DOOR HERE. Previous posts have some ideas for this, but if you have your own ideas, probably better ones, by all means, use them. The important thing is, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS.
