Natasha Dahn, 16, of Lakeville should be beaten, burned and dragged behind a motorcycle as well as the rest of the imbreds that did this. People like this should be fair game for whatever once in prison... as I'm sure they will be :)

Going after someone on ONE person's "say-so" is troubling INSIDE OR OUTSIDE the law. How many times will events like this have to be repeated before people look for the facts with some reasonable verification before acting. When will the same principle see the light of day in the Courtroom. My church recently asked me to get involved with Children's Church and Mentoring...I just laughed, shook my head, and "No!..."was all I said.

Mr. Provenzo: You are only one accident away from being so severely handicapped that you would make Trig Palin look like a high achiever in comparison, even while he is still an infant. If that happened, you probably think that you would want to die, but you might not. In that condition, you might be horrified at the idea that someone would want to do a post-natal abortion on you. How did you get to be so arrogant that you think you are wise enough to know who should live and who should die? Only God is good enough or wise enough to decide that.

Re: "Blindness" Movie Depicts Blind as Helpless, Angers Activists

Please Take Advantage of This Teachable Moment! I believe those of us interested in disability employment issues have a unique opportunity right now, and I’m asking you to add your insight to our current discussion on the eSight Networking Forum. The film, “Blindness,” directed by Fernando Meirelles and based on the 1995 novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago, was released October 3. It’s controversial, and I try to summarize some of the issues it raises in this week's eSight NetWork News. This film is getting nation-wide attention, and I think now is the right time to address those issues in a positive manner. We can all do that by helping raise awareness about visual impairments, especially among employers. It’s a teachable moment that comes our way too infrequently. So, this week’s eSight NetWork News and submit your comment on the eSight Networking Forum about what employers need to know about visual impairments (especially in the light of this film). You can access eSight NetWork News at hyperlink You can submit your “raising awareness” suggestions in response to the film, “Blindness,” at hyperlink You can read all the “raising awareness” submissions in response to the film, “Blindness,” at hyperlink Please invite your friends and acquaintances to submit their “raising awareness” suggestions in response to the film, “Blindness,” at hyperlink Thank you for participation. We value your insight and plan to draw the attention of hiring managers and HR professionals to this discussion and your comments. Jim Hasse Senior Content Developer eSight Careers Network hyperlink

We could have been spared Mr. Provenzo's 'marginally productive' drivel had his own mother done society the selfless act of aborting him. Ah, what could have been!

Re: House Majority Leader Responds to Sarah Palin's Promise to Advocate for Special-Needs Children

Melody Elbarbary — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:59:36 GMT

Sarah Palin is coming to my state next week. I plan to paint on the rear window of my car in hopes that she and others will take note that families of individuals with disabilities cannot be easiely swayed; OBAMA MAMA MOTHER OF KIDS WITH DISABILITIES FURIOUS WITH SARAH PALIN FOR USING HER INFANT SON WITH DOWN SYNDROM FOR POLITICAL GAIN. I can't believe she has stooped so low as to use her son to boost her ratings. What did she do to advocate for these individuals prior to running for VP? I hope and pray that she gives such attention to meeting the needs of her son.

Nicholas Provenzo is a hate mongering jerk. What constitutes a contribution? What is productivity? Most handicapped people, and most non-handicapped people too at the base of it, contribute just what society gives them the chance to contribute. A Down's Syndrome person may not become a high powered CEO of a top company, but there are a lot of jobs they can do. It all depends on how much society will give them to do. People with milder disabilities, or no disabilities, can be funneled away from work and pushed into an unproductive life. Look how black people were discriminated against and prevented from reaching their potential for so many years. Should all these people have been aborted? The hate mongers think so. But wouldn't a better solution be to give everybody a fair shake in society? Down's people are famous for being sweet, loving, and caring. But for people like Nicholas Provenzo, these qualities mean nothing. Maybe that is because he doesn't have these qualities. Also, Provenzo is very anti-choice on abortion. He wants to force abortion on women who are carrying babies that he doesn't like, or at least stigmatize the choice against abortion. So what happened to a woman's right to choose? I guess it's only for women who want abortion. People who don't want abortions, don't get the same right to choose. Remember that when the pro-aborts appeal to "choice" to get their way.
