By the same token, we would not offer crutches to quadriplegics, would we, to save money on building ramps?

So the deaf Villagers were right in bringing suit, although I wish they tried facilitative advocacy first. Maybe they did. Nine years was how long it took them. I doubt the physically disabled would want to wait this long to get their ramps.

BRAVO.......well said....
