People keep telling me that it is my fault that I don't have a "good job" 
for their understanding of the Disability Act in the USA is that if you go 
to an employer and tell them you are disabled that automatically they will 
hire you. The reasons are twofold 1. tax break for the company and 2. fear 
of a law suit if they do not hire. I didn't understand the act to read like 
this but this is what I am told. I am frequently asked "Why just didn't you 
tell them you have MS and then they would have had to hire you?" I do have a 
question though *who* determines if you are disabled? Is it the physican or 
the government? Do you carry a little note with you to a future employer 
that says "he's disabled"? JUst strikes me as funny, as in peculiar, 
sometimes. Take care and Shalom, Aaron
