We Americans have a problem with disabilities. In building a house for the disabled, I could not find facts and numbers that define what was necessary. In America (except on the west coast), we want to define who can be sued and for how much. Do it yourself. What are the numbers for light switches in a building for disabled people? This is how we learn by doing. Do it yourself. How many inches from the floor must a light switch be located? Provide that url. And how many web sites were visited before useful reality (the numbers) could be obtained? Do we want to sue or do we want to solve problems?

Forget the UN. How many of us think like an engineer verses how many think like a business or law school graduate. Do it yourself to learn.
