I spent 25 yers in the Army Field Artillery. As a result my ears are shot and I now receive Army disability. I am reminded of this every time I have to tell Martha to repeat what she just said. There is no shame in not being able to hear as well as everyone else. If a person lives long enough, they are eventually going to be handicapped in some area. And while there is no shame in being handicapped, there is no glory in denying the truth. To pretend a handicap does not exist in not helping anyone. When you watch Seasons # 5,6, and 7 of TAGS you would have to be blind (another handicap) to not see that Floyd cannot use his left arm. This is not to demean or shame Floyd, it is not his fault that he had a stroke. But it is my opinion that the show would have been better if the producers would have just admitted the truth and worked Floyd's handicap into the show instead of trying to cover it up. There are millions of handicapped people in America contributing greatly to this country every day. That is my opinion, and everyone else is entitled to their opinion, no offense to anyone.

I told them it was I could not hit the ball very far. _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
