In reply to the discussion: Disney says disabled guests now have to wait in line due to schemes for the rich [View all]anneboleyn
(5,626 posts)I find this whole story appalling, and anyone who says the "disabled" share the "blame" is being ridiculous. A few people engaged in deceptive activities. Poor behavior happens everyday. To act like an entire group --the DISABLED -- therefore is responsible for this bad behavior because they are "easy targets" is some very twisted logic. It is not fair, in fact it is outrageous, to shift the blame from a few lowlifes onto millions of Americans who struggle through life everyday with disabilities. There are millions who fall into the disability camp -- why in the hell Disneyland of all places would choose to punish the disabled en masse because of some idiotic, poor behavior by a very few is alarming and disheartening.
Only in republican fantasyland do the disabled get all kinds of AWESOME benefits like parking spaces; forget that the disabled have to deal with terminal illnesses, missing limbs from service in this country's multiple wars, spinal diseases that make walking long distances or waiting in a long line agony, children with many conditions that prevent them from standing and waiting in a long line but would still benefit tremendously from a trip to Disneyland. In a very republican manner, the many (in a group that-- it must be said -- is already routinely discriminated against) will be punished. Cruel and unjust -- shame on you Disneyland.
