I am still waiting for my academic library to obtain it, after all it has
other works edited by him.
However as I recall his final address to the conference, he was not talking
about the same issues as me, he was talking about concepts of disability,
impairment call it what you will in a negative fashion, and I still thought,
no difference is the only word that describes the variability of ways we are
born into this world and are shaped by it, and that includes being hit by a
truck. Yes I don't want to exhange my difference by such an experiment, but
it is in the nature of things that if that does happen I don't want my new
shape to be considered impaired so much as altered, and naturally I would
want the world which created the instrument of alteration, to continue to
alter the social and infrastructural environment to take account of my
alterations in a positive manner.
Anyway I could extend this argument to anser some of the other points Tom
was making rhetorically, but I shall wait till I read the book unless a
discussion proceeds here first.
