Single. Channel. Nothing to watch for three whole days. There was no Playstation then. We had to use a little imagination to entertain ourselves.<BR/><BR/>No cures for MD yet, but some of the breakthroughs also have to do with making life a little easier for these kids. I'm just sayin'...<BR/><BR/>I've heard that a fraction of what the telethon brings in actually goes to MD research.<BR/><BR/>Few people know that Jerry Lewis does it because he had a kid die from MD. A son, I think.GB, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735213378851473207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-90133629424732158222007-09-06T09:51:00.000-05:002007-09-06T09:51:00.000-05:00I remember setting a VCR and hoping it recorded yo...I remember setting a VCR and hoping it recorded your show.

The disability <BR/>community refers to this as the charity model of disability <BR/>because it categorizes disabled people as nothing more than the <BR/>objects of pity. As people with disabilities, we do not need pity. <BR/>We want and deserve equal access to public space and services and <BR/>respect as fully participating members of society. <BR/><BR/>Many non-disabled people believe that exploiting people with <BR/>disabilities on TV (through actions such as this telethon) is <BR/>okay, as long as the funds go to "helping" to find a "cure." We <BR/>want the world to hear directly from us. We want the world to know <BR/>that no amount of money can make pity and discrimination okay. Our <BR/>society would not promote a cure for gender or race; why is <BR/>disability any different? We fight for disability to be viewed as <BR/>a natural part of life and not as something that needs to be <BR/>changed.

I was cheated as a child and my brother more than I. With more than one television channel perhaps my brother would still have the bulk of his toe and I considerably less guilt over that fateful afternoon when we could have been planted in front of a television and not on that dreadful pond with our shiny new knives...<BR/><BR/>If only...Trelvixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687813532564473260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-78152623597518846742007-09-05T21:57:00.000-05:002007-09-05T21:57:00.000-05:00I remember the elaborate bargaining and bribery to...I remember the elaborate bargaining and bribery to get siblings to turn the channel for you if you happened to be in a chair. i still hold a grudge against jerry lewis to this day for this very reason.
