-- a $250,000 bargain
Swett, South Dakota is for sale for just $250,000.
It contains six acres, an empty house and a
closed bar. Is it a bargain? We remember that
efforts were made to establish Laurent, SD
as a deaf/sign languae town, and it failed. Too
many rules, regulations, ordinances and
local opposition stopped Laurent in its tracks.
Would Swett be different?

-- good income from these ADA lawsuits
There are people that look on ADA regulations as
their personal gold mine. Too many ADA lawsuits
have created problems in the legal profession.
How bad is it? In South Florida, ten people
have filed 67 percent of 2,300 ADA lawsuits,
and they make a good living out of it. One
attorney said it is Wild West, no rules,
no regulations, no nothing.
-- ban on designer deaf-babies
A group of scientists from USA, United Kingdom and China are
in Washington, DC this week to discuss the possibility of
passing a rule to ban gene-editing (same idea as designer
deaf-babies). This should be interesting.
