Fuck the blind!

UPDATE: do you reckon that it was intentionally or unintentionally ironic that the government appealed the decision a day before the UN approved the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities?


As I have noted before people often used to ask me about American money all being the same size when I first moved here. They inevitably closed the discussion with the remark "but what do your blind people do?".

I never had an answer for that but the Bush administration, in appealing a court decision that the current US currency discriminates against the blind and must be changed, has one. "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!"
