Yes, there’s an allusion to the Christy Brown story in my title. Sure. And the implicit inquiry is about the complicity index–whether you have a disability yourself or you don’t, my question is about the stance you take on advancing the cause of pwds.
On Sunday morning in New York City, outside of Macy’s, I tried to get a cab. Predictably a driver refused to take me because I had a guide dog. Nothing new there. Before he drove off he gave me the ” stink eye”.
But then a cab pulled up and the driver invited me aboard. He said: “Someday that guy will need a dog and then he’ll know what it’s like.”
Your own left foot is nothing more than the golden rule. You can do anything with it. No socks necessary,
Of all of the cabs, in all the towns, in all the world, you had to get into one that had a human being in it. Who’s to say it couldn’t happen again some day?
