Million Dollar Bigot
The video documentary “Million Dollar Bigot,” a response to Clint Eastwood and the “Right to Die” movement, is online for free at Google Videos. In Eastwood’s “Million Dollar Baby,” Hillary Swank, who gets Oscars when she plays a character who gets killed, plays a boxer who is injured and is now a quad. Her character is murdered “mercifully” because she could not live with her disability. Yeah, right. There is no life for someone completely paralyzed from the neck down. Anyone heard of Christopher Reeve?
You know, Mr. Eastwood has been sued for ADA violations at resorts he owns and he has fought these lawsuits saying it’s unfair. It’s probably just a coincidence that he made a movie where a gimp is killed.
Basically, he wants business owners to be given “warnings” before they are sued for ADA violations. Mr. Eastwood, the ADA was made law 16 years ago. How much warning do you need? I’ve been waiting 41 years and counting for all businesses to be accessible to me.
