You announced that below some percentage of the population, people don't matter and shouldn't be accommodated. By your logic, I showed that Portland doesn't matter.

I hope we can all agree that this is a very stupid conclusion, and therefore you should rethink your argument.

We accommodate disability because it is the right thing to do. We require businesses to spend extra money, lowering their profits, in order to put in ramps and openable doors, in the name of our common humanity. Not everything is done for a profit motive; not everything should be done for profit motives. In conclusion, Ayn Rand can spin in her grave but it would still be wrong to wrap her in wires and use her to generate electricity.

You clearly didn't understand my meaning. I suggest re-reading what I wrote, and then think about the "90%" figure.

I'd flag your insulting "stupid conclusion" statement, but I'm sure someone else will do that for me.
