Thanks RailroadJoe.

I think that all American citizens (and that includes politicians)want to help make adjustments for people with physical or mental disabilities.
We have a long way to go but I think in most cases we are all trying to do what we think is appropriate.
To the boater who can't find a spot at the Wolfeboro Docks this might not appear to be true. But if you sat in the seat of the Wolfeboro Board of Selectmen while this issue was be proposed, I wonder what we might have done different. Your damned if you do and damned if you don't.
