[nagdu] Discrimination

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

Gloria, 
I'm curious, why are you worried about this now? Is there a deeper issue? 
I ask because it never crossed my mind to worry about this issue. Maybe that was because I was young and niaeve. 
Access issues suck, so I'm curious to know why you'd choose to get a dog if this weighs heavily on you.
