Maybe “they” do, but please put it into context. I do not have musculo skeletal “disorders” I am sure ontologically there is reason and logic for the way my muscular skeletal system relates to the environment and the demands placed upon it. It is very orderly when it indicates I am in pain, but what the heck the response to it is entire within the realm of politics, culture and sociology. How I would be taught to respond, and whether I am expected to ignore the demands upon it in the interests of the economy conformity or simply being a “wage slave” I am not allowed to feel pain if an ATOSSER dares to look at me, but if I were to tell one they were a “expletive deleted” I am sure they would “die” from the stress and plead foul. Different rules for different people, always was. That is the challenge. Europe costs me more than I cost them, it is a false representation of economy and ecology.

These and other socio-economic consequences of suffering from poor health due to muscle and joint pain represent an estimated cost to society in Europe of up to €240 billion. http://www.fitforworkeurope.eu/default.aspx.locid-0afnew009.Lang-EN.htm Fit For Work website:- http://www.fitforworkeurope.eu Colin Revell ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
