My point is and you have a right to disagree : What is a disability is determined by society. What is reality is determined by the same i.e. consenual validation. If we lived in a society where everyone was blind or deaf or whatever that would be considered the *norm*. I have several hearing impaired friends, and while it is true that now they have been exposed to and taken on the biases of ABLED society and see themselves as different there was a time in their past when this was not the case. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!260!204!Aaron.Feldman Internet: Aaron.Feldman@f204.n260.z1.fidonet.org
