Clearly from your remark you disagree with something that's been done or been written. Just state it clearly. I'm guessing at what it is but let me just clear some things up. The International Day of Disabled Persons can't actually be called a 'party' ... the celebrations of that day are not particularly 'festive'. People with disabilities struggle for equality, for access and for respect. This is a day where we honour the work done and acknowledge the work yet to do. I do not believe that anyone asked the city to throw a 'party'. In fact, they aren't doing that. If you read carefully, the celebrations have been planned by various organizations and individuals within the disability community. The city is simply giving space for it to be held indoors rather than outside in the cold. That's all. If I've misread your comment, clarify it with me. I like discussion, even argument. I remain pleased that those I spoke to at the City listened and discussed these issues with me. They took them seriously. I thanked them and respect them for how they dealt with me and with the situation.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-57117772317909044392011-12-02T14:22:05.512-05:002011-12-02T14:22:05.512-05:00Wish you had left the address in as would have sen...Wish you had left the address in as would have sent a positive message to them.<br />Hope you have an awesome day.Flemisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-42845598908504383302011-12-02T14:07:03.163-05:002011-12-02T14:07:03.163-05:00Phewph.
