Um gottes Willen.
When will they ever learn, embodied difference indeed, I would like to know how
Bishop Berkeley would respond to that.
This bloody world that embodies disability as corporeal essence and disregards
the truth of mental construct, in that there is only difference that can be
internally and externally mapped in the individual or corporate consciosness,
and enliterated not embodied,
Body Fascism that is what all those theries are that eventually conceptualise
disability from an indwelling "impairment" or "wrong"
