You' don't see many wheelchairs around truly successful churches. And AIDS kills more straight people than gays. Splain God to me again. I've always avoided anyone that thinks god takes an active roll in people's lives. Best Wishes, John s.

I seriously wanted to tell her off but held my tongue. Then years later her husband said "God created AIDS to get rid of gays." I couldn't hold my tough then.

I really liked the guy but he was dead wrong on that judgement because i think most all of us have tried our rear ends off.

I sometimes feel offended when some person who has a different injury than mine and much more support than I have is presented in the news as a role model. The TV show seem to present the idea that the reason this person is overcoming their difficulties is because of their strength of character and positive mental attitude and persistence. The implication is: the rest of us just are not trying hard enough and have a bad attitude. The reality is: some of us are having a pretty rough go of it. But nobody wants to see a story about that on television.

These special quads have learned the art of giving people what they want to see and hear and cry at home behind closed doors. It has allowed them to be a roll model and receive support. The one thing that all super quads have is support.......they have much family, friends, checkbook, donations, caregivers. The average quad just doesn't have all that behind them and sadly the disabled community is more like I have it and you don't rather than helping every disabled individual get the support they need. There isn't anything fair about how things are dolled out to help the disabled.Its who you know, are you worth spending money on (Voc Rehab) and the sqeaky wheel gets the oil.
