[games_access] Game accessibility legislation coming to the USA?

[Michelle Hinn]

Oh that's very interesting -- of course leave it to someone outside
the US to know more about this than most of us here in the US -- all
we've been seeing lately is gun control (not hard to understand why
that might be...) and fiscal cliffs.

I'm not speaking for everyone in the US -- I've been out of touch with
the news for a few weeks with my back surgery arrangements and my
sister-in-law/closest friend dying...not a very jolly holiday season
for me right now... :(

Will read up more about this!
