In The Land Of The Blind The One-eyed Judge Is King!
Can anyone say TORT REFORM!!!

The previous poster Lauren, draws an appropriate parallel between this lawsuit and Kurt Vonnegut's book Harrison Bergeron. In this political dystopia:

"THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren?t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General..."

If this suit is successful, I think I'll start a class action lawsuit that forces some major retailer to allow me to bring my German Shepherd into their store. After all, the blind people get to do it!
