Someone made a long comment in response to a post I recently made, asking several deep and interesting questions, which were too important to ignore, and too important to let them get burried in a thread with another post. And so, I removed the comment and reproduce it here, and I shall address it, the issues and questions within. It’s good stuff, tricky issues. But further than that, I am glad that someone who has a physical impairment is willing to open dialogue, and learn more about us. In the end, she may not agree, but if she disagrees, she’ll do so on an informed basis, rather than knee jerking!
