It would be a complete mess to a screenreader or a high contrast display which changes the font to a very readable one. Instead, you are supposed to use actual images with “alt” tags. ---

Instead, you are supposed to use actual images with “alt” tags. I don’t know if this counts as a woosh or not. I’m gonna count it, even if I wasn’t trying. And I am sure you could find many “standards” violations on the website that is a subject of this thread (the useful part takes up just over 1/3 the screen!). Check them out. :dubious: ---

> [@Ca3799](#): > > Indeed, evil carried the day. America has willfully chosen a Democratic platform – a Romans 1 platform – upon which to stand. I’d say “I’ll see your Romans 1 and raise you a Romans 13”: > [@NIV](#): > > 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The **authorities that exist have been established by God.** 2 Consequently, **whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves**. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. > > 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. ETA: On further consideration, get that printed onto some labels and slap them on the copies of the WND article. That’d be fun. ---
