Good response, though perhaps a bit too polite considering the dire conditions to which the disabled of any stripe in the country are consigned--we are non-persons whose needs are persistently ignored by this government. And that seems rather odd when one pauses to think about that because this government is itself so obviously suffers from multiple disabilities: it is blind, deaf, and intellectually challenged. It's blind to the existence of anyone living outside the Pale; it is deaf to the needs of its citizenry; and that it's intellectually challenged is painfully obvious in the manner it went about throwing away a fortune that belonged to "the people", not the government", and that could have been spent wisely and prudently to last for many generations instead of a few years at the top.
