                TNE REAL WORLD IS NOT USER FRIENDLY

        1.  A disable person seeking a driver license is more closely
examined and more easily failed than the able bodied.

        2.  The DVR counselor is allotted a limited amount of funds to
service their caseload.  The counselor must pick and choose who gets
severed and who gets pushed aside.

        3.  The employer hires the abled bodied because he 'thinks'
the disabled will have a high rate of absentism.  Stats say otherwise.

        4.  The elevator at the courthouse does not have raised
letters or floor announcements.

        5.  Airlines loose your wheelchair while in transit.

        6.  Restraunts don't have menus in braile.

        7.  Restrooms in restraunts are wide enough for a wheelchair
but you can't get to the john.

        8.  Transportation is almost unavailable to all diabled
individuals.

        9.  Emergency room doctors look upon the disabled as GOOMERs.
Better known as Get Out Of My Emergency Room.
