What I don’t like is when some people go out of their way to treat the disable differently then anyone else. I really hate it.

I disagree. My child is brave and she is special. She is is handicapped and can not walk, talk, or even hold her own head up. Yet, she fights and never gives up. She is brave in the face of illness so frightning that I cower just watching her go through the process, surgeries, etc..

I don’t think society makes these terms you mentioned meaningless, I think that a lot has to do by the political correctness governed by a few. Other than that we need to discribe people one way or another. By the way I have lived through a few name changes and am tired of it. The loss of a limb, sight or whatever should not be viewed as limiting but put a blind man in a pilot’s seat would you take that flight? No you are not special but some people would benefit from certain amenties that society can provide. The key is to get them in the right places. I think it is up to all of us to remind our municipal leaders what we need and where so that we can all be happy with the quality of our lives.
