	It's Fred again, Dave. I don't mean to be critical, rather
I seek enlightenment. When a person, or document, refers to
'mental disability' are they not also refering to 'mental
ability'?  It seems that if a glass is half full of water
that it is also half empty of water. I've always equated 
'dis_______' to mean lack of '_______'. Are you saying that
legally there is another meaning?  I know lawyers have a
language all their own and the constitution will follow the
legal conventions if anything will. Just how do you think the
courts would interpret it?
