GP: Can I leverage accessibility and usability laws in the fight against bad websites?
P: you can try, but you have no guarantee of succeeding, nor should you. You didn't pay to have the websites developed, therefore you have no say. In an ideal world people would just do the right thing. But this is far from an ideal world.
That's not as obvious a contradiction as it first seems. The idea is actually better stated as: perpetual war for some, for perpetual peace for others. Does that concept work? I don't know, but for most people, the answer lies in their odds of actually having to join the battle.

That may be your intent, but I doubt many who read it will infer it in that way. Yes, the "therefore" is not explicitly stated, but I believe it to be implied. Communication via language is often a guessing game of intentions, and even in logical proofs unstated assumptions are made.
The only point I'm trying to make here is that your sig does seem like an appeal to authority whether you want it to be or not. And no, I wasn't the AC parent, and I do not believe those who believe in God are necessarily weak-minded.
You must have skipped Brave New World's later chapters where the savage's dialogue w/ Mustapha Mond points out exactly what was wrong with their so-called utopia.
Check out Huxley's last book Island for another vision of technology's place in society. Or read what Nietzsche says about "the last man" in Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Not what the courts have said about some retailers' websites and the ADA http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060907/cgth051.html

Thanks, from now on, I'll make sure to use "regarless" whenever I would normally use "irregarless."
