Now you raise a strawman. We are not disucssing able bodied. We are
discussing wheelchair users.

> Everyone complains about everything.

That is quite obvious. However, not all complaints are created equal.

Fuck em all -

Like assholes, everyone has an opinion. Even more like assholes, some are
more full than others, like yours.

The inability to get into a government officbuilding or courthouse, the
inability of a person to provide their medical history because they use sign
language, the inability of a person to cross the road because the crosswalks
are not audiblized is not a lack of a bed of roses are not inconveninnces.
They are the inability due to barriers of a person to do things that you
take for granted.

I'm sick of
> it.  This proposal sounds perfectly reasonable.

The fact that you are sick of it is just a sad commentary on your lack of
intestinal fortitude. As for this being perfectly reasonable, I would assume
that you would think the same when you have a need. Like the old saying
goes, a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.

> >Why do you advocate for a complaint driven society?

following the law?
