To the imperceptible individuals
......those who stake a claim to sensitivity
The Politically Correct of our Society
......you are... Truly an Ignorant Bunch
For in being this way
......you cause much harm
......as you change the definition
......it develops into a lesser extent
To say challenged rather than disabled
......you have softened the word
......you have softened the intent... as well
......you have diminished the distinctness of its power
Disabled People are:
......those who are crippled
......are physically handicapped
......unable to perform a certain action
People who are Challenged are:
......are the subjects of dispute
......are called to engage in a fight
......are in a stimulating situation
Please Note: As One who is Disabled
......I am always in a dispute... with the so-called experts
......I am at present... as always... engaged in a fight
......and... life is quite stimulating enough... thank you very much
Your cause... to make a Nicie-Nice world
......where everone plays well with others
......where there are no skined knees
......a Nobal Cause... but a blind one it is
Reality being Truth... it will evoke its ugly ways
......t'would be nice... if we all played well together
......but there is a reality... life just ain't that way
......Intolerance... it be the Enemy... not the Word
Change not the words intent
......so the thin-skined one's... fell better
Change the Imbued Attitude of our Society
......Intolerance... so we can all feel better
so right you are. as one who is physically disabled, i applaud your efforts!! (i have arthritis and use crutches for walking.) i prefer to be called disabled or handicapped; i hate to be called differently abled. that label sounds so impersonal and cold; and i DON'T like it. i don't mind special needs; i can handle that one or the above two, but PLEASE DON'T refer me as being DIFFERENTLY ABLED!!! YUK!! love, your friend, karen lynn. ((HUGS))

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
