My six years hard labor in prison - had lots of women "hugging"
me.  Us ex-prisoners find that these "friends" can't handle the
full reality - just an idealized version of whatever we are
supposed to represent.

In the world of disabled people, the same happens.  So many
well-meaning persons "fall in love" with a disabled person.

But in the full reality of the relationship, the "do-gooder"
changes his or her "mind" - "falling out of love".

I realize that some people in this conference can't handle
reality.  I have described reality as I have seen it.

I guess that I am saying -- BE HONEST!   All the best wishes &
hugs mean nothing, in the face of harsh political realities!
