So, any of you guys handicapped?
I have been handicapped. It changed my view of ADA in a big way. If we hadn't ADA, you'd be effed if you are handicapped. Just go to a developing country and have a look how it goes for the handicapped there.
The OP is not a good example of overdone ADA as already pointed out. Neither is the "Pilot Lounge" sign. There is a room and blind people should be able to identify it. Seeing people that aren't pilots also will benefit from knowing that that is the Pilot Lounge.
A bit more compassion would be good here. "Snicker snicker, look at the pilot lounge sign!"
An important role of the government is to ensure the weaker of us aren't getting marginalized. Also, the fact that ADA implementation isn't always optimum isn't' a reason to dismiss the entire ADA.
