I am not a tall person, so I may be wrong, but short people experience more inconveniences--such as the inability to reach tall shelves, see over the steering wheel, and operate the pedals when driving. The world caters to people 5'5" and over. I have never seen any tall people struggle with their size in daily life, except if they hit hteir heads on a doorframe in a building.

They have such a lobby because the created it. People like us, 6' 2" and over don't have one because we have not created one. Seems fair enough to me. We certainly could do as you suggest. Are you volunteering to lead the effort?

Oh, yes, pity the plight of the height-encumbered, for their's is a sorry lot... We'll get to you guys as soon as we're done with the dwarves... er, I'm sorry, "Midget-Americans". (gotta keep it PC.)

Coming from a tall family where men are 6'5'' and up and girls are 6'0...I don't think so. While I'm on the short side myself (5'2'') it's not as if tall people are having a hard time getting from place to place or reaching things. For a little person/dwarf average things might be a tad more difficult, it's probably harder to get around, and definately harder to reach stuff. Mos tlittle people deal with a common height-related issue, most tall people deal with...bumping their heads from time to time? I'm sure tall people could fight to have more "tall friendly" places, but I see it as a waste of time. Now if tall people start having a hard time manuvering around most places and everyday things (like reaching the microwave/door knob/climbing going up stairs) becoming difficult, draining, and unbearable then try to fight. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've also noticed more things made to fit tall people than little people.

I am 6'2" and do not agree with you. Other than bonking my head on things, having NO leg room in airplanes, having to put the seat as far back in the car as possible and choice of car (beats the hell out of not being able to reach the pedals or see over the steering wheel), having to stoop down to use the sinks at home, work, and anywhere else (I can get a crick in my back and legs), etc, being 6'2" does not cause me any problems with getting around or doing anything. I also do not have a medical condition that causes me to be this height. I love that I have an antique couch that I can stretch out on (it is almost 200 years old). It is the ONLY couch I can do this on. Many midgets and dwarfs have medical conditions accompanying their height (not all but a goodly chunk). I do not remember much from my schooling about this but I think dwarfs have more severe medical conditions associated with their height than midgets. Most taller people do not have medical conditions that are associated with their height and I, personally, have not had problems with access to various places, other than having to duck my head to avoid the occasional bonk. While tall people can use everyday utensils often normal sized utensils are very unwieldy for a dwarf or midget. Also while tall people can walk up stairs, get into normal sized chairs with just maybe a crick in the legs (a few restaurant booths and chairs I do not bother with), a "little person," I would think, would have just such things an actual challenge. I would think that the average kitchen would provide quite the challenge to a midget or dwarf while I have no problems other than that I tend to make things in the kitchen go kablooey. I can get a crick in my back from washing dishes but I do not have to use something to climb on. Even the medical conditions associated with being very tall tend to not be as debilitating as those associated with being a "little person" until the disease has progressed if it is not treated or not treatable. Basically, average height appliances and public areas inconvenience me much less than they would a "little person."
