This ruling brings to mind many thoughts.

It is noted that blind people are at risk of getting ripped off when they have to rely on others to determine the value of the money they have on hand. But aren't ALL U.S. citizens at the mercy of someone who determines the value of their hard-earned cash? You bet. It's called the Federal Reserve.

Here is the story of the blind leading the blind:

Blind people certainly have a grievance, a valid one. Their complaint should be wider in scope. If we had a private market for money, blind people could find an alternative source for their legal tender, and this source would make sure the money was exchangable in the market. The government does not provide this kind of creativity, and it puts the value of all Americans' money at risk.
