"The High Cost of Being Disabled"

Also, this is one of the rare blogs where it's safe to read the comments. This post has one comment from a troll, basically saying: "Come on, you cripples can't really expect to be treated equally, do you? After all, you're a burden."

But all the other commenters calmly, and systematically, untie that argument and expose all its fallacies.

Also, speaking of blogs, posting an entry this close to Christmas, titled "Mary's Child ..." increased traffic to my blog by ten fold in less than twenty-four hours (usually, I get about 2 - 4 hits a day, maybe ten a week, that one post has 38). Most of those hits came from Google searches, so I imagine most of the folks were disappointed at the lack of magi, shepherds, and little boys, and left almost as quickly as they came. ... But I got two new "followers" out of it, so at least some actually read what I wrote...

Yay for the power of cultural zeitgeists?
