You are so right Billy.
We are all Ambassador's for the disabled but I would've had to bite my tongue too.
I try to be as pleasant as possible when I go out, a lot of people think that we're always bitchin & complaining and unpleasant in general so I try to show them I'm just a guy sitting down instead of standing up and that's the only difference.
I tell people all the time I just get around a little different.

Sorry for the previous almost incomprehensible e-mail. I was dictating rather quickly and did not check it until I went through my e-mail and discovered how many errors I had made. I decided to correct a few and send it once again. I have not been dictating too much lately and my accuracy is seriously wanting.
I could have watched it last Friday, herein Tampa, but I was taking my nephew and niece (ages 10 and 11) to the movie and didn't feel this was appropriate. Interestingly enough there were some lower-level quadriplegics promoting the film in the lobby. They looked over at me, being a high level quadriplegic, and said "nice to see that you were able to get out." I looked at them and smiled, but inside I wanted to say, "what the hell do you think? I hardly get out of my house." Due to the presence of my nephew and niece I decided this was not appropriate dialogue and chose the upper road. I felt it was ironic when I was sharing this little tidbit with my parents and they told me a similar thing happened in the movie and the quadriplegic responded in the same manner in which I had originally intended.
I always try to present a likable appearance whenever I am in public. I believe that every time I acted out in public someone believes all of this act this way.
Just my opinion.

I already saw it here in Hollywood and thought they did a great job with the documentary. I had to drive 20 miles to see it. I just wish they would have made it more like a movie (drama) and less like a documentary so that it could have gone more mainstream and make a bigger difference. Here in Los Angeles it's only playing in 3 theaters in all of So. California. I'll be surprised if most of you can find it.
Take care all, Donald .
