My credible and substantial argument is the law itself. It is very clear. I will not take one anonymous Wiki poseter's interpretation of "block letters" as my basis for understanding a law that has serious ramifications. If that is where you wish to put your trust, then so be it. As I pos...

From Wikipedia; Block letters may mean any of the following : In America, they are simple letters that children are taught to write in first grade. They have no serifs and are upright.

The law was written and 1 inch was given as the minimum. It would really suck for a judge to say something like "well they tried to meet the law, so i side with them". But i guess it happens all the time. I was there. The letters looked to be about an inch high. I did not have my micromet...

I would not want my defense to hinge on the definition of contrasting colors and block print. The museum clearly was trying to meet the statute and that was good enough for me. I was not happy about it, but I was not going to risk the legal consequences.

I think you're trying to get a little technical on the validity of the sign it's self. I think white on a dark background is contrasting. good luck on winning that fight. ;-) Contrasting nothing!!! I'm pretty sure clear glass is not a contrasting color. Anyways, were the other entrances posted? Wel...

I don' t think it's a legal sign. it's not contrasting, and I don't believe the letters are large enough. (I can't tell from the photo) When was this taken? I didn't see this when I went. Not sure what day, but it was the week after Thanksgiving. My wanted to see that darn Van Gogh thing also. The ...
