Judge after judge.
Seriously - was it a national activist day that I did not know about.

People should be free to choose what is best for themselves as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same. I created this blog to discuss issues I have with big government, liberal media,and to talk about my support for capitalism and the Iraq War.

The money thing makes sense to me the same reason banning hate-speech in public schools makes sense to me- the government is forcing us to use it, they have a responsibility to make it work for everyone. Aslo it's not the government trying to regulate business or anything, it's just one branch of the government yelling at another branch, which seems ok.
Since your cool with it you can pay the cost of changing the currency.
Pay my share too please. How have blind people gotten by all these years? There should be brail on all products too. How are they supposed to know if they are buying regular coke or diet coke?
You know what, i knew this guy a couple year back that inadverently ran into the corner of a table. Since the corner was at 90 degree angle It really hurt him. If you ask me we need a judicial fiat commanding that all federally funded tables be rounded.
If they're talking about some type of recall on all money that's obviously stupid, but I assume they just mean that the next time when the treasury pays a ton of money to update the printing presses with new anti-counterfeiting measures, they should toss in a couple of bumps. Shouldn't cost much at all.
For some with such a high verbal score your not a very careful reader:
"Robertson wouldn't say how Treasury must do it, but he gave the government agency 10 days to start working on new bills that the blind can tell apart."
1. To be quite frank, the actual process of making a bill more accessible to the blind doesn’t bother me, particularly because you are willing to assume the cost. What the hell do I care if you want to spend your money in this way? If only it worked that way.
2. The problem some might have with this is that this seems to be an example of judicial activism. If i remember correctly, attempts to get this currency changed through legislative means had failed. Thus, this organization not having the will of the people used the court to force their will on the people. I would pay to see the tortuous logic the judge went to show how the disability act forces the treasury department to make bills a certain way. If memory serves me correctly, this particular judge made a name for himself in the sixties fighting for civil rights. I’m sure he voted for Bush in the last election.
For someone who with such a low verbal score, it's not surprising that you don't understand that "start working on new bills that the blind can tell apart" and "Start a massively expensive recall of all bills and reprint all US currency starting 10 days from now" are not equivalent statements.
1. You really think that taxes on everyone in the country get raised by one tenth of a penny in order to finance this mandate? It doesn't work that way. The treaasury already has it's budget for theh year; if they have to include a couple of bumps then they'll take out one magnetic strip to afford it.
2. Yeah, I can totally see how people could be uncomfortable with how this ruling came about, if you look at my original post you'll see I'm just saying it's a fine idea in general as far as I'm concerned.
