2. We live in a "sick" world IMO

I know what you mean about the snarling secretaries, etc. Its like they are jealous of you because you don't work or something. The secretary that used to work for my doctor said to me, "I know of a woman with MS and she is a roofer! She climbs right on top of the roofs carrying the heavy pails of tar and does the job with no problems at all!".

Luckily, said ignorant secretary has retired and I yes, I too am sick and tired of hearing such remarks from an assortment of people. Shame on all of them!!!!!

So, yes, I can sure understand why hatred of the disabled is now becoming a big issue.

I wish I had something positive to say but I do not.

Try to do the best you can. That is all that any of us "disabled" folks can do.

In the meantime, here is a for you.

Hatred in any form is beyond the pale in my book!

This is very sad, and needs to be addressed as another form of hate thucythucy Jul 2014 #1
