How to Respect the Disabled

Jarek Molski certainly must be annoying to businesses as his intent seems to be to make money rather than make it easier for the disabled (“Rolling Thunder,” by Matthew Heller, Oct. 2). However, I can understand his anger. I just spent the last three years pushing my husband around in a wheelchair, and I noticed that there are far too many businesses that don’t comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Can those businesses understand how degrading it is to a man or woman who can’t use the bathroom when they absolutely have to? Not only because the bathroom isn’t accessible, but also because the door is so heavy that they can’t push it open or they can’t make it around the corners to the handicap stall. For every heavy breath and anxiety-ridden minute it took to get my husband into a medical appointment, store or restaurant, I cursed those responsible. I say sue them all! You lost our business.
