Hello Clifford, Beth, and Sherri:

Out of curiosity, where would you draw the line for your definition of
a "disability"?  Most people draw the line of what specifically
benefits them.

When filing for "disability" claims, the Federal government accepts a
very wide definition of what they view as a "disability".

I understand and agree why Disney drew the line relative to a
"disability" and why they no longer extend that privelege.   It is not
about the money: it is about what is equitable and their desire to
avoid conflict.

Unfortunately, it's my opinion, and only my opinion, that I am not
tryhing to impose on others, we have become an entitlement society.
This is a major reason why we have the problems in this country that
we have.  Everyone is just concerned about their specific interest and
wants.

          Bob Clark
