To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Shouldn’t blind people be able to drive? And deaf people be able to go to a concert? These type of activities should be banned until we find a way to make it fair for everyone

I breed & raise horses. NOT big numbers, but when I have one for sale, I worry that I will get some sort of handicapped person showing up & demand that I allow them to ‘try out the horse’. Except for those MUCH OLDER horses used for handicapped kids & which require a minimum of 3 persons to get the kid the chance to be on a horse for Equine Therapy, I have not even known of or owned a horse I could even consider have a wheelchair roll up to. They would spook, I am pretty sure.

I think this has already been a problem with riding stables, where such a demand cannot be accommodated.

I already watched small businesses in Calif get driven out of business because of ADA requirements. For some time in Calif, they were trying to demand that every house built was built to ADA requirements. Sloping entry. MUCH wider doors. Different showers & tubs & toilets in the bathroom. Elevators for 2 story homes. That finally got hammered down. It brought home building to a stop. It cost a considerable amount, and buyers of new homes didn’t want these ‘additions’.

I am waiting for all commercial buildings to be told they have to add more bathrooms to accommodate Transgender people. Jerry Brown would sign such in a heartbeat.
