The problem at the root here is 'radical egalitarianism' which is slowly strangling us to death. Some people are simply better at some pursuits than others.

I am in complete sympathy with that view. Everybody is different.

I had a different take on the story, however. Everybody is different, and, in one sense, everyone has a handicap, its just that most handicaps (another way of saying we are different) are not visible, or not considered handicaps.

Everytime I see somebody hop out of a car they've just parked in a handicapped spot, I say as loudly as I can to my wife, "Honey, anybody who parks in a handicapped spot has something wrong with them."

Show me anybody colleting a free income because of some handicap, and I'll show you somebody with the same handicap who's making it on his own. In this case, I thought the statement, "Don't Tell Me What I Can't Do," meant, "hey, we all can't do something, why concentrate on that. I'll concentrate on what I can do.

I take it you would have fun disparaging my father who had emphysema. I don't think he "hopped" out of a car, but he wasn't "crippled" like you expect handicapped people to be.
