The Battle Cry of theDisabled

The battle cry of the Disabled should be "Hey look at us don't ignore us just accept us and help us regain our rightful place in society."

Unfortunately before this can happen the Disabled must learn to communicate among themselves. We cannot continue to tread along the same counterproductive road that we now appear to tread which is my disability is worse than yours.

isn'tsn't the disability we have to fight against it's the word DISABILITY itself which according to Webster means: · To disqualify legally. · To make unable to perform by or as if by illness, injury, or malfunction.

Those of us with a disability know that this definition belongs in the Dark Ages along with the DEVINE RIGHT OF KINGS. we know that in many cases our dishasn'ty hasn't incapicatedapicated us or, to use Webster definithasn'tt hasn't' made us incapable or unfit to function in society. We know that we have had to compensate but that our compehasn'tn hasn't made us incapable or unfit to perform a task.

If WE the Disabled are ever to regain our rightful place in Society then it is imperative that we communicate verbally among ourselves. We then must then transfer these verbal ideas to the non-disabled using both the the spoken and the written word. We must become our own advocates for change. When we do this than and only then can we show the non-disabled the folly of Webster's definition of disability.

If we do all the above then and only then can we change the definition of disability from on inability to nothing more than an undiscovered ability. When we change this definition then and only then will we be able to regain our rightful place in Society.
