Re: Disabilities Law Supported by GOP nominee John McCain

I hate to be a cynic and I sincerely hope McCain speaks the truth. Unfortunately McCain's voting history says otherwise. http://youtube.com/watch?v=l0lBN14rTeQ I see this nothing more than typical McCain political pandering.... What do you think?

http://cbs2chicago.com/watercooler/Rockford.Illinois.Dawn.2.286015.html Absolutely hideous. Another pet peeve of mine is when fast food places like McDonald's place their disabled spaces in a location that has a "pathway" going right over the drivethrough lane. I see no action ever taken to correct these design deficiences by the management or the corporation.

not only that, but they're not especially accomodating to some of their customers either! Either Google Dawn Larson or go to this link: It will enrage you! http://cbs2chicago.com/watercooler/Rockford.Illinois.Dawn.2.286015.html

Don

I agree with you entirely. However, Pelosi et al, are in dreamland as even now there is work to water down the adaag. In my town the powers that be actively fail to support the ADA. And there is no consequence for doing so. Thank you for posting. Mr. bill

re: BEING PREPARED SAVES LIVES

As a Florida resident on the coast, I can say that being disabled is a double difficulty in the face of BIG STORMS. In my county, we have medical shelters for people who are ill or disabled. It takes an application, and a doc certification, and they will then provide power generators for oxygen, some level of food availablity, and cots. Caregivers are accomodated, but they need to provide their own bedding (eg air mattresses), food, and EVERYONE needs to be prepared to be ready to go and also ready to GO HOME. Water stocked, canned goods or food supplements like Ensure, etc., are all good things to have on hand. Yes, preparedness is key if you live in an area that may experience a natural disaster.

Great post here. I live in Florida, so hurricanes are almost always a threat. A couple things that I've found in my experiences is that if you do lose medication during a disaster, Wallgreens will give you up to a week of emergency doses. I don't know if any other company does that, but it is reassuring. Also, if you're ever in the situation of going to an emergency shelter, always have a supply pack ready because they do provide food and blankets and things, but there is always alot of people, so it may take (in my experience) up to three hours for some kind of service.

Thanks Tim-

I'm in agreement that Amtrak is not THE answer, but they can be a catalyst for others in the field of transportation planning to improve accessibility. As with anything someone has to lead so others can educate decision makers and show others the way.

i don't know if Amtrak is the answer or not, but I sure hope the US invests in more rail transportation.
