Sometimes the expense is so great as to take money from other programs that benefit more people. It is very hard to judge what is fair and right. I am the mother of a child with Williams Syndrome who is now a wonderful woman.
I think the suit that you speak of went to far. I didn't really see an attempt to compromise. That is only my opinion.

You're right, I don't see either an attempt to compromise which dismays me. Here in our hometown I have chosen to go without interpreting services because I prefer that the money goes to fund social programs for needy people - esp children who are our future.
Instead if I need or want to be "enriched," I use the computer or the library. Besides I prefer the idea of using my computer in my nightie and with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with crackers and cheese.
However if the others want interpreting services because it is their legal right to have them, there is not much we can do about it. We cannot legislate morality as you said in one of your postings.
The ADA needs to be overhauled or clarified further.
