Hi Kim

It wasn't so long ago that children with an intellectual disadvantage were
hung
upside down in the hope of more blood to their brain the smarter they
would
get. A "refinement" of this approach was to strap them to a wheel type
devise,
and spin them around for hours at a time - the idea being that this would
FORCE
more blood to their brain and they would end up no longer retarded (as
they
were labelled then)

David - who is so glad we have improved (well a bit anyway) in our views
of how
people with a disability should be treated



Very true, David. That was a nice reminder of things from the past.
Unfortunately, the mistreatment goes on, just in different forms.

Tiffany - who needs to be hung upside down today.
