Walking in the city after a snow storm is difficult for anyone. City governments seldom clear crosswalks so that pedestrians can cross streets. But for persons with physical disabilities crossing a street is not difficult, it is impossible. How many people must remain inside after a snow storm? Many who have power wheelchairs can travel in the streets. But access to sidewalks remain a barrier for many who use wheelchairs, persons with guide dogs and persons who use canes. That is not to exclude women who push a stroller with their baby. They cannot use the sidewalks either.
"The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind." - H. L. Mencken. "One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them." - Thomas Sowell. - Join search for truth learn to recognize it when you encounter it.
