I am tired of bickering with people whom I don't think I should be bickering with

Human beings are capable of some 15,000 different tasks. The best of us, the ones who are truly gifted, can do maybe 200 of those tasks passably well.

We are all disabled. There is no rational reason to obsess over any of the 14,800 tasks at which any one of us is incompetent. Unless, of course, the incompetent is a Republican. The challenge is to focus on what a person does well and then to work together to make things better.

Stop the bickering. It's a waste of energy.

Vote Democratic!

that "We are all disabled" is one that promotes harmony. As someone who actually IS grappling with the reality of being disabled, it seems like an affront to me. I know it's not meant that way -- just sayin'.

Ridiculous. If I am not mistaken I got that from What Color Is Your Parachute circa 1985. The point is we are all human. It's a positive point.
