I think the only way we will break down these berriers is by talking about it over and over and over again. We must bring these issues to the fore-front and we must make people aware of these discriminations. We must have pannels, coferences, and educate everyone with the facts by having a selected few, speak about there personal experiences all over the world. Hi Bob,

Being Disabled myself, it's very sad that 'discrimination' still exhits among many people, inculding those whom you love.. My advice too everyone, is do what's in your best interests, and don't allow anyone to make you feel like you did something wrong. Life is full of challenges, most importantly, we must take a stand and do what's right..and just... Michelle Karen I certainly can agree with you.
