I agree with Mike and Lloyd.
I don't think this topic will be incoporated into a speech just because of
it's ubsurdity, and because I don't think that we VI/Blind people will be
impacted to much by not being able to use a robot potty! I personally can do
with out... Now, if robot potties took over our world wide bathrooms, then
it may be time to interfere, but for now I think we're ok...
It kind of reminds me of those movies where the buildings were alive...
