Subject: RE: House Concerts/Handicapped Accessible
"In the interests of fair treatment, we should keep in mind that just because someone is disabled doesn't mean that he/she isn't a major jerk! :-)"

And it also must be held true that in this new world of full access and total inclusion that people with disabilities have as much a right to be jerk as the rest of us.

In your face advocacy has it's place and is a powerful tool. But don't you think it has more service at the newly openned and inaccessible local opera house? If you alienate the neighbors over the insides of their private homes you will have no allies in the battle over public spaces.
