I truly believe that Internet is in the process of resulting in a disability
awareness/rights explosion. Watch what happens in the next ten years.  We
have World-Wide communication access, and the chance to forge large-scale
cohesion such as never before in the history of man.

In the past, one of the disability rights movement's most handicapping
conditions has been geographical separation.  Thus, we have not had the same
communication advantage as other minorities.  Internet is spanning, and will
continue to span that gap.

This era will be the turning point.  From sadness, heartache, isolation and
exclusion, will emerge a thunderous victory for a unified people -- the
largest minority in the world!

Internet is a powerful and mighty tool!
