ON BASICHUMAN DIGNITY AND PERSONAL LIBERTY FOR ALL, NOT JUST THE ABLE BODIED

Conservatives like to say that The Americans With Disabilities Act is yet another example of government intruding into every aspect of our lives. Perhaps,to people like them who would not shed single tear if every person in the entire world with any kind of disability at all did in fact die, it could be seen that way. However, to anyone with a disability, as last week's story showed, Equal Access can be a matter of life and death. But even if it is not life and death, it can be a matter of personal dignity and liberty, since without Equal Access People With Disabilities are compelled to either ask for help with basic tasks or just avoid them. Some tasks, though, can not be avoided forever. So perhaps those on The So-Called 'Right' should think about that before they go ending equal access everywhere they can. This week's story will show why they should take notice of the GOD GIVEN RIGHT of All People, even those with Disabilities, to basic dignity and personal liberty. I highly recommend that anyone on The so-called 'Right' who supported the Anti A.D.A. lawsuit of a few years back read it carefully and closely and take notice.
