Do you oppose the ADA?
Yes. While there are perhaps part of it worth supporting -- I believe, for example, that it mandated government buildings have to have wheelchair ramps, which I can understand given that tax dollars from the disabled help fund those buildings -- overall it was a net negative.

Well, the fact that employment has declined among the disabled seems to loom pretty large, especially given that it seems one of the legislation's goals was to better integrate them in the working world.
