i READ A FEW YEARS BACK WHERE A BANK WAS GOING TO COURT FOR DISCRIMINATING AGAINST UGLY PEOPLE. It isn't always easy for us ugly folks to band together over such causes. Of course the bank immediately produced 6 ugly people that worked for them. The ugly 6 chose not to be shown publicly and remarked, "We make ourselves sick just to look at each other." The Lead lawyer(who will star in next months edition of GQ) replied that "He felt privilaged to support such a noble and well, pathetic cause as Discrimination against UGLY PEOPLE" He went on to say that in a survey it was shown people prefer ugly people to bank with since they have no life and hence, no reason to embezzel money. The Bank in quetion chose to be represented by Larry Flynt.

The passage of ADA, affected all segments of our society. The most "in need" were addressed first and those with less serious "needs" found their way into the system as time went on. After all 20% of the population could be an understatement. Because of that, it became "vogue" to have a need and what a fad its turned out to be. Consider all who have been attracted to "the disAbility flame." The benefits can be a simple as getting a better parking space when needed or to the front of the line. Just think of the future when all people, young and old, of every race and religion are one...... (oops I just woke up, sorry) Maybe that explains the FAD of being "in need."
