Hi Michael,
I definitely would debate individuals that felt disability was a tragedy. The real tragedy is that individuals in our society praise an economy that operates on profits. It is the drive for profits that creates disability through wars, unsafe working conditions and by excluding individuals because of their physical or mental differences.
I would support an economy that provides for all and is inclusive to all individuals. That is socialism. Big business would be nationalized. Our industries would produce what we need instead of producing only items that generate a profit. Under such an economy everyone would be provided for. I guess that makes me a communist.
