So, I dont think that being "disabled" has anything to do with deteriotating the quality of my life. Only I can do that. Since we all enjoy the benefits of being disABLED, we have experiences in common with the pulsating boring grey mass of the normal people who are jealous of us all! Thus, its fun to chortle over them! I know, I know, we should feel pity for the misfortunate. But gee, its funny how they think we are the disabled ones, when we really are the disABLED ones! Must be something to do with the American literacy rate! Dont bloody know how to spell or capatilize now! I'd heard of the mental condition in which the people in the asylums like to think of themselves as authority figures, but this is a more widespread phenomenea, yet we, as the sane minority, are the only ones to have noticed! Goo Gaa Goo Gaa! The men in white are after me! Steve! The Child of a Lesser God! PS. So whats your answer? PPS. Gee, this straightjacket is nice'n'warm! -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!3!681!853!Stephen.White Internet: Stephen.White@f853.n681.z3.fidonet.org
