I'm sure that is not the complete scope of it because we did have a bunch of dedicated and intelligent people even within the medical proffesion backing us. Besides that, most of the jails were not accessible. :) I am glad that we didn't need a Martin Luther King and people with disabilities could more equally share the victory of their own destiny, but don't think for a minute that we could have done it without the able bodied people that sided with us. Let us hope that the rest of the world follows the example and that all people in time see the benefits both compassionately and economically.
