One of the things I’ve learned this year that amazed me was that the 2010 clarifications of the ADA included classifying those with celiac disease, such as myself and two of my five kids, as disabled. To be sure, it is a crushing thing to get glutened, as we call it, and it lasts for a week to ten days afterward. But I never have thought of it was disabling, so much as a chronic illness. The ways of Congress are strange, somewhat non-sensible, aren’t they?
Franky, I find the ways of Congress and the countless federal agencies absolutely appalling. Congressmen ‘give away’ federal benefits for their political benefit, but few serve long enough to see the eventual negative consequences to the country. They themselves never pay the price of their selfish actions taken as office holders. They leave others (taxpayers) holding the bag.
