Disability Quotes - Page 9

• There are millions of people out there ignoring disabilities and accomplishing incredible feats. I learned you can learn to do things differently, but do them just as well. I've learned that it's not the disability that defines you, it's how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. And I've learned that we have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability.

• He firmado con gran satisfacción las Enmiendas a la Seguridad Social de 1961. Representan un paso más hacia la eliminación de muchas de las penurias derivadas de la vejez, la invalidez o la muerte del asalariado familiar. La fuerza de una nación reside en el bienestar de su población. El programa de la Seguridad Social desempeña un papel importante a la hora de atender a las familias, los niños y las personas mayores en tiempos de tensión, pero no puede permanecer estático. Los cambios en nuestra población, en nuestros hábitos de trabajo y en nuestro nivel de vida exigen una revisión constante.

• It's interesting, once I have convinced people that, yes, I have a sister with a mental disability, the retard jokes really dry up, so I'm not sure how much retard humor is really going on out there, but I imagine there's a lot because it's a pretty safe group to make fun of. It's not like the Retards of America are gonna rise up and organize a protest. They're not gonna write letters. They only just recently got the Supreme Court to stop executing them.

• Last month, 80,000 Americans signed on to new jobs, but 85,000 Americas signed on for Social Security disability checks. Most of these people are not 'disabled' as that term is generally understood. Rather, it's the U.S. economy that's disabled, and thus Obama incentivizes dependency.

• Because my graduate academic training at law school was not one that included most of the intellectual traditions I find useful for understanding the conditions and problems that most concern me - anti-colonial theories, Foucault, critical disability studies, prison studies and the like are rarely seen in standard US Law School curricula, where students are still fighting on many campuses to get a single class on race or poverty offered - I developed most of my thinking about these topics through activist reading groups and collaborative writing projects with other activist scholars.
