[nagdu] And that reminds me of the cab driver issue

[David Andrews]

Dan:

I find your views about Moslem cab drivers and their rights to be 
offensive and distasteful.

If  one of them were to characterize blind persons, as you 
characterize them, you would be mightily offended, and rightfully so.

Someone who becomes a licensed taxi driver, is agreeing to provide a 
service to the public on equal terms and does need to transport guide 
dogs etc.  That however doesn't invalidate their religious beliefs or 
feelings.  We may not agree with them, but the drivers have as much 
right to have them as we do our dogs.
