US Paper Money Discriminates Against the Blind

CWRUisTakingMyMoney writes in to let us know about a US Appeals Court ruling declaring that paper money discriminates against blind people who must rely on others to tell them what denomination of money they have. "A US federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that the country's one-sized paper money discriminates against the blind and told the government to change the currency's size and texture. The court upheld a previous ruling in November 2006... [that] had ordered the Treasury Department to find a way to accommodate the more than three million visually-impaired Americans who have trouble distinguishing the different US denominations which are all the same size and color... 'A large majority of other currency systems have accommodated the visually impaired, and the [Treasury] secretary does not explain why US currency should be any different,' the court said in its ruling."

..from the:"We don't have anything else to bitch about" department. They approach this from the stance that blind people are helpless, and have to have their hands held. What the hell do they think blind people have been doing for the last 200 years??!...(okay maybe not 200)...but they have their own system for dealing with currency. Discriminatory...please....let's make drinking fountains 2 feet tall with an extended drain and spigot so crippled people can use them, while we're all it, but nobody else can....and let's make seats in movie theaters triple wide, so morbidly obese people can pay the same price, but take up 3x's the room. And let's have special lanes of traffic for these electric car driving, sanctimonious @ssholes so they don't have to wait in rush hour traffic, because obviously they think they're better than everyone else, ergo they must be. I drive a 1963 Ford Fairlane. I have a V-8 engine, and I get 30mpg....SUCK IT. (221ci, 3sp w/OD..for the skeptical...smallest V8 ford made)...blind people have their money separated with paper clips, and fat people rent movies at home. End of story. ...and whoever did this study can die in a fire.
