Again, while I find the notion of "helping make people more functional" to be a nice one and what I would want to see in any circumstance, I do not believe they are obligated to, especially not by law. Hypothetically, if I owned a company and found that to be an issue - let us say the fluorescent lighting - I would purchase and maintain an alternative to it. I as the owner made that choice to accommodate people; I was not forced by the government to do so. No less, as a tax payer, even one who falls into these categories that are considered other than normal, I do not agree with paying taxes to front or enforce these changes or policies, even if they would specifically benefit me; it isn't my job or my business to do so and certainly not the average American's. It is my job as a representative of my minorities to adapt and overcome my personal difficulties.

But is it not actually the case that the populace should and does cater to minorities in order to improve society as a whole? Take the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, for instance, which prohibits the discrimination of people based on disability, which is a protected class. These types of protections [i]do[/i] make people obligated to help facilitate people who are maybe 'less than functional', and in turn there is a benefit to society. Do you think that helping facilitate minorities who are systematically (or otherwise) disadvantaged is the job of society, not government, or?
