[nagdu] Why did I send this message again?

[Howard J. Levine]

Thank you it is just a figure of speech and if you want to change things for
the better then you need to talk about it and you may break some eggs as you
do it. When I was in Europe on the second day I almost gave my lady friend a
hartatack when I almost fell down to my death as I went up stairs to our
place. She said they don't care about your eyesight and we don't have ADA
crap over here. It hurt what she said but she did not want me to get hurt,
look out when your walking. The stairs did not have hand rails and it was on
side of large hill. In the United states you would lot be alowed to have
stairs like that with out guard rails. AGain if you want to change things
for the better then we need to be able talk about things with walking on
eggs.

			That was my take too when I was in Europe, the take
away that I got was "You are less then us, the government will take care of
you and if you want anything different from what the government is offering
then you need to know your place and be grateful". 
When I was pregnant with my second daughter, my family and I went on a
dolphin cruise. We happened to be sharing the boat with a bunch of Chinese
people who were here visiting. They literally tried to crowd me while I was
getting on the boat and I got the impression that if they could have gone
over me, they would have. Not a one of them gave any consideration to my
personal space or my pregnancy. It was like "You're in our way, get out or
we'll move you". 
I suspect this has more to do with their personal boundaries then mine.
Still, it was a little scary. 
We aren't wrong if we share our personal experiences folks.

I am sorry I did not think the message went through. I would like to say
that we on the list should be able to have our options and not be tolde how
to say every thing your way. I lived in Europe and I got feeling that if you
had handicap you where second class person. Way you change things for the
better is to talk about them in open way.
