Leave none behind

Ok then, here goes...

A friend has just posted a sad but unsurprising story of an old man falling down in the street and plenty of people walking by rubbernecking, but not stopping or helping.

Tonight's episode of Glee (yes I confess to watching it), features some wheelchair empathy and a character with Down's Syndrome who wants to be a cheerio cheerleader.

The moral of these tales?

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

That link is only as strong as we make it and allow it to be, how much it is looked after in other words.

To those who think they would make the world a better place by eugenics or genetic engineering I say this.

You are the deformed.
