I find it interesting that the conservative disability-victims
are selecting ME to examine their own public-interface attitudes.

 FW>  I say it wasn't racism but stupidity and maybe his tactless ideas

 FW>  his temperment representing me. What do you think?

Only in this conference have I detailed my opinions and
experiences about racism as I experienced in the world of the
disabled people.

None of my NSW (state) voters know of my attitudes or beliefs in
this area.   They only know of the five years work & reputation
that I developed in my working life before my accident.

Amongst my peers (management types) in the disability industries,
I continue to retain much respect & support.  But you seem to not
understand what democratic elections are about.

Democrasy has nothing to do with ability to do the job well.
Democrasy is Dictatorship of the Competent Minority, by the
Mediocre Majority.

Because the human species is incapable of evolving too much and
too quickly, it is just as well that the "advances" of society
will always be held back by the Mediocre Majority.

I am not complaining.  For myself, I will probably always be
forced to continue to be an under-achiever.

But like other people of my education, etc, by underachieving, I
continue to live in very comfortable social comfort & very
comfortable material comfort.

Sorry if this is too hard for you to understand.  One day someone
will explain it better tthan I can.
