Well, Henry, I am a VERY strong supporter of Disability Studies. I laughed
because she was so ignorant. I know it is not nice to laugh at ignorance,
but she was so pretentious! She was not even a good reporter. She was
clearly out to get another postmodern culture-studies related field and
she thought that she did. I guess that you too thought that she did, too.
In reality she gave us great exposure. When you speak truth to power, the
powerful get befuddled.....David Pfeiffer
