Tim,<br> <br> You are so correct. I will not make that error again, thanks to you. From now on, I will refer to you as a child with a disability. And it is so much more important that we focus on calling children with a disability as "children with a disability" rather than" disabled child" instead of focusing on the larger issue that a person running for public office didn't want them being next door to him. I mean really, which is the larger offense to these children? <br> <br> Best,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>TIM RIGSBY <tim.rigsby@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Visionistas:<br><br>Just a side conversation here about a dialogue Donovan and Dan the Man <br>Carscellan are having.
