Comments

I've had a (mostly*) overwhelming response to my OMBH post, but one of the comments I have to share with you all. It absolutely floored me. I just had no idea that there were places in the world where people who had no knowledge of disability (ie no disabled family or friends) could think this way about it:

Whenever I see our neighbour's wheelchair-bound daughter across the street being ferried somewhere in a taxi I know is paid for by mine (and others') taxes, it makes me proud to be living in a somewhat decently civilized country.

That's from someone in Finland. And I'm still floored by the fact that it floored me. Surely that should be a normal response? How the fuck did we manage to mess up our society so badly that that seems so abnormal to me?





*Surprisingly, only two trolls. One that didn't even read my post! Replied with 'tl;dr, what's your problem? You're ill? With what?' - I wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that.
