Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) scoffed at that notion that a senator would ask for a vote on a bill in good faith while requiring that it be “filibuster-proof.” “This may be a moment in Senate history, when a senator made a proposal that, when given an opportunity for a vote on that propos...

Sen. Mitch McConnell Filibusters His Own Debt Ceiling Bill Yesterday marked another low point in American congressional politics. On the heels of the embarrassment that was Republicans blocking a UN treaty that was modeled after American law and which helped disabled veterans around the world bec...

Billionaire Forbes Writer, Ken Fisher, Attempts To Argue That The U.S. Actually Needs Fewer Jobs And Job Growth Is Overated. For years Americans have pondered the mystery of how to create more jobs. Turns out we've been thinking about it all wrong: What we need are fewer jobs. Billionaire investo...

Using ANY logic the patrons pay for those accomodations. Only the very ILLOGICAL would ever assume otherwise. Of COURSE patrons pay the costs of doing business - and a little something on top, called profits. And we have agreed, as a society, to foot that bill. We are family, son. And we have decide...

Using your logic it would be acceptable for the business owner to require the patron or employee to cover the costs of "reasonable" accomodations.

But my stuttering does. Somebody's smoking a feel-good, politically correct crack pipe. I stutter. I deal with it.I thin...

So is what society is doing. We, as a people, are voluntarily - through the process by which we volunteer (legislation) - making REASONABLE accomodations for people with disabilities. And it is NOT to put them down, as you pretend. Whoever fashioned the prosthetic device that YOU use, for example, ...

Completely different. What the family is doing is voluntary. So is what society is doing. We, as a people, are voluntarily - through the process by which we volunteer (legislation) - making REASONABLE accomodations for people with disabilities. And it is NOT to put them down, as you pretend. Whoe...

Oh, I could not agree more - just as a family that lets grandpa live in on the ground floor when he gets to old to walk up the flight of stairs to his bedroom is actually DIS-respecting and DIS-honoring the man. Believe me - I GET it. They should respect grandpa's equality, and make him crawl up an...
