Equality

This just in -- money is discriminatory:
The government discriminates against blind people by printing money that all looks and feels the same, a federal judge said Tuesday in a ruling that could change the face of American currency.
But at least they have good reasons for the fight:
"It's just frankly unfair that blind people should have to rely on the good faith of people they have never met in knowing whether they've been given the correct change," said Jeffrey A. Lovitky, attorney for the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
It is also unfair that blind people must rely on others to drive them around since they can not get licenses, so we should ban automobiles. It is also unfair that blind people can't see TV programs, so we should ban all televisions (actually, I do support that one). Really, the only way to make it completely fair would be to pluck out the eyeballs of all of us seeing-folk. I believe Vonnegut wrote a story similar to this once, which of course, was discriminatory in itself, unless he read it out loud to everyone or printed it in braille.
