This link is for your reading pleasure-----the next time you want to denigrate John McCain stop and think about Franklin Roosevelt one of the most revered Presidents in American History. www-csli.stanford.edu "The life of Franklin Roosevelt, President of the United States from 1933-1945, illustrates the difference between the two conceptions. Roosevelt was disabled as a result of polio; the muscles in his legs were wasted. For a long time he tried to learn to walk, to overcome the effect polio had had on his legs through exercise, grit and hard work. He was in the grip of the first conception of disability. He was not successful in walking again." And more--------------- "Roosevelt felt that it would be political suicide to reveal to the American public that he used a wheelchair. It's not that Americans wanted to see their President walk everywhere. It was acceptable to the public for him to get from place to place by car--for there he was employing a bit of technology that non-disabled individuals also use. But it was not acceptable for him to use a wheelchair--------" Need I say more-------you can finish the article. mj
