Accommodation Gone Mad

Courtesy and respect are part of the glue which holds our society together. There is a measure of necessity to provide an equal opportunity to all Americans, regardless of physical circumstance or possible disability. Some accommodations though, really seem to carry things too far.

Recently, the Burger King Corporation announced the intention to offer a new menu item. For the 32 million left-handed citizens, they will be offering a Left-Handed Whopper. It will contain the same ingredients as the original but all the condiments will be reconfigured by 180ยบ. The familiar lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc. will remain unchanged but only repositioned. Those persons who are afflicted with “left-handedness,” will probably welcome this development. Since Burger King has enjoyed remarkable success, this is a measure which will affect million of Americans.

Surely there is an end point to this sort of thing but it just continues apace.

In His abiding love,
