The irony of all this is that disabled people are often far more "successful" in their disabled states than they would be if they had been "healthy" all their lives.

This may sound presumptuous, but I'll bet Charles Krauthammer is a far bigger man today than he would have been if he had never been disabled.

And I am willing to agree with you. My own father was paralyzed at the age of 37 and he wasn't expected to live 24 hours. He lived 9 yrs. You never saw such determination in a man. I have witnessed firsthand the inspiration that these people give and the desire they have.

All who can walk normal should count our blessings.
