good writing,

you are not handicapped, you are just ... different !! :), where did I read "God says,son, this is just a bend, not the end !!!"

Rawalpindi,the area of Swan Camp was full of caves, and some even had shades in the begining,especially a place called "padyali" which was a jungle and no one would go there. there were 3-4 big caves and no one was interested in them. I found some stuff in one of the caves which looks like water jugs and grain holders made from clay.

The whole area was then flattened and became "Officers Colony Morgah Phase 3", now there is nothing but houses and villas on that stretch of mountains.

There were also caves alongside the roads going from fauji foundation towards sowan camp, the river swan they say once bustled with life and the water was crystal clear and around the river the indus valley civilisation bloomed.

Now the river is all dark and smelly cause when islamabad was named the capital,they starting dumping it's severage into "lai" which goes thru rawalpindi and then falls into sawan river and it's an awefull sight.

well that does not surprise me at all, we were never the "preservers" anyways!!!!

Umm... I think this article wasn't quite on track. Good write-up though.

"they face much opposition from the pettiness of others, perceiving this as giving undue advantage to the handicapped, thus we often hear references to the handicapped as if they are perfidious, and exploiting their malady, making life difficult for the more noble among them, who only want to give equal opportunities"

THE CRIMES DONE AGAINST THOSE DISABLED ARE EQUAL TO WHAT THE NAZIS DID.

OUR ENTIRE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROFIT TO THE HEALTHY NOT THE SICK.

THIS PERFECT DESIGNED MACHINE IS MORE EFFICENT THAN DEATH CAMPS.

OUR WORLD IS TOO CROWDED SO THEY TAKE MONEY FOR THE SICK DISABLED AND GIVE IT TO HEALTHY PEOPLE TELL THEM YOU CONTROL THE RESOURCES REWARD HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATORS THAT REFUSE TREATMENT SHOVE SOME OF THE BEST MINDS INTO INSTITUTIONAL PRSIONS UNTIL THEY KILL THEMSELVES OR WE KILL THEM.

WELL ALL THAT WILL COME TO END NOV 2009 RIGHT AFTER THE DEATH OF HALF OF ALL LIFE.
