Subject: RE: House Concerts/Handicapped Accessible
I have a problem with the Terms "Handicapped" and "Disabled".

Yes there are people "challenged" in many ways and It is my view that everything possible should be done to grant them access to wherever they want to be.

It is just the Labels that are applied. Disabled/Handicapped loos and the like. I would rather society used a term like "Equal Access".

This is not meant to be a PC type observtion as I have a physical limitation myself and find the use of the above terms a little hurtful.
