Brent Do you know what that means? good. foundational is not a word. and that is a fundamental problem,when conveying your argument.

Don't be a nerd.

That's a word.

Thank you for post #21. That's more like it.

As for Fox News, I don't even have a tv, so you may dispense that illusion.

I will try not to confuse my natural inclination, as a woodbutcher, to gravitate towards foundations, when I should be concerned, rather, with fun.

Compliance achieved and no demand letters where sent to pay damages to someone who never visited the facility? Oh I see it wasn't in CA so it was a Federal issue and enforced by the Feds. Just the way it should be.

Mark, you have an odd love/hate relationship with WIKIPEDIA. On the one hand, you chide incessantly on it's use, and on the other, use it for yourself. It is useful for quick reference, as evidenced when a lack of law education was mentioned, you were able to wiki Jim Crow and therefore find your references.

Ironic, as Sweat vs. Painter merely stated that facilities should be equal, not constructed specially.

You should also note, as I pointed out, Jim Crow was racist law, and bad law, which the cases you wiki'ed fought.

Trying to find your point here...

You all change it and then let me know, until then I will enforce it without mercy.

Really? How about without prejudice and fairly, Mr. Building official?

You should enforce it.

Hardly. You have the authority to enforce code. Mercy is a judicial quality.

You are to be objective and check for compliance. No one elected you to rule. That's the only thing you have sAid that p1ssed me off.

King Nothing.

Problem in "your" mind, a resolveable issue in the minds of others.

Just wait until someone close to you requires a walker, chair or cane, "then" just maybe you attitude will change.

If "others" are entitled to civil rights then why shouldn't the disabled be too?
 
First off, I used "enforce" a bit loosely as I am not a BO. lowly architect here. But I do not show any mercy on my accessibility surveys. I identify all of the items that are out of compliance. objective and thorough.

Your assumptions about me are wrong.
