Greetings Economists, Overall Chris Burfords proposal for reconciliation is acceptable to me. I can't speak for other disability oriented persons, but the call to integrate feelings into the process is crucial to the movement for disabled rights in my view. There is nothing to guarantee someone arguing with me will ever come around to supporting disabled rights as long this debating society concept prevails.
In my view that is quite close to what Martha Nussbaum has proposed for a way to fight oppression of disabled people in the legal system. I will remind here how much the language of this situation quickly degenerates to calling the disabled rights movement barbaric. That many quickly start label disabled rights advocates as nutso, bizarre, etc. And turn right around and write in plain English that is not the language of bigotry. It is expected we find a Jackie Robinson way of keeping our mouths shut while others crow about their numerical superiority in the opinion polls. It takes a long time to make headway against prejudice. We intend to make a difference against this sort of wind. thanks, Doyle Saylor
