And I certainly wouldn't try speaking FOR them. (In SUPPORT of their OWN identified priorities, sure. That's part of what being an ally MEANS. But not FOR them. There's a big difference.) It should be the same for non-disabled allies. If they feel excluded by that then they need an "Ally 101" tutorial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23011984.post-87070320427959812192008-11-22T16:25:00.000+00:002008-11-22T16:25:00.000+00:00Please may I be excused from the intelluctual thin...Please may I be excused from the intelluctual thinking bit and just say Firefly is ace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23011984.post-79098933423160299442008-11-22T15:08:00.000+00:002008-11-22T15:08:00.000+00:00How awesome is Stephen Fry in America?

His previous works didn't analyze it in the same way so I look forward to following his evolution of thought.<BR/><BR/>Can you point me to Liz Crow's statements on this? I know she has a new film to be released soon about disability and the Holocaust, but I'm unfamiliar with where she's commented specifically on impairments and the social model. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're feeling better.
