Yet still the failure to recognise that this number is entirely contingent
upon what one means by "disability" as this still bears scant relation to
any reality concerning the different impact of any impairment according to
different social conditions, norms, and economics. You would think the UN
would recognise that wouldn't you?. But Oh NO! They are not a research
organisation, they are not even a rational organisation, no they are a bunch
of power brokers driven predominantly by a westernised elite, if ever there
were a land where the pigs walk on two legs, the UN Eutrophia is it.
