I think we all have agendas.  One of mine is protecting public
lands.  You are free to disagree with me, but it doesn't change
the fact that people might try to use ADA to change the Wilderness
Act in ways me and others might find unfavorable.

They are.  A disabled person has the same right to use public lands
as a non-disabled person.  The question is, do they have the right
to change public lands to make them more accessible.  In the case
of Wilderness areas, I say no because in order to make it accessible,
it would no longer be a Wilderness area.
