FWIW, I wasn't knocking lunatics. I don't think the division between "lunatics" and "normal people" really exists. Further, "lunacy" and genius go hand in hand.

Greetings Economists,
first Jim Devine writes unconvincingly,
Jim D: but just as the lunatics have taken over the asylum, the looney
right
wing has taken over the conciousness of much of the US citizenry (at
least
here in SoCal), along with taking over more and more of the judiciary
every
day.

Then JKS chimes about his theory of insanity and California,
Well, Southern Cal, that's where all the loose marbles go anyway . . . .
Haven't you read Nathaniel West's Day of the Lucust?

Doyle
Really.  Loose marbles.  First you start by saying we are disabled out
here
in California where the real disability rights movement started.   Well
I'm
proud of whatever lunatic stands up for disabled rights out here.  I'm
proud
of every epileptic, bi-polar individual, cerebral palsy woman, facially
disfigured guy, legless veteran, African American with multiple
schlerosis,
Native American with cancer, blind diabetic, deaf blind child, who has
participated and helped build the disability rights movement.

I welcome schizophrenics on the run to California for aid for their HIV.
Every depressed person who seeks shelter in California from oppression.
Every hurt and abused homosexual fleeing from the horror that this
country
embraces toward disabled people.

I welcome every bone cancer chemo therapy person to California.  Every
person with lupus.  I welcome armless thalidomide adults, and persons
with a
literal half brain due to surgery.

I welcome people with strokes, and fevers.  Bad stomachs, and ulcers on
their legs.  People with neuropathy due to drinking too much.  Very
obese
people, anorexics, and bulemics, obsessives and compulsives.  The
disability
rights movement is for all against the able bodied who castigate you as
the
problem with this society and capitalism.

I advocate for justice for you.  A place to live, and food to nourish
you.
Help when you need it.  A place of respect and peace not rejection and
death.  Not the bio-ethicists with the death camp for the disabled.  Not
the
right coast where only the able bodied can speak their minds.  Here
where
disabled people have taken a stand to fight for their rights against
every
able bodied charge and castigation.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
