I'm really in a quandary... I don't want people to pity me because of my
disability.  But, I do enjoy the privileges that I sometimes get because of
it.  I know that I get opportunities at times that wouldn't be given to
other people.  For example, today I went to an Al Gore speech, and he not
only shook my hand, but knelt down and took a picture with me.  I'm not
going to say that that wasn't awesome.  But, I feel hypocritical, because I
don't want people to treat me differently... but I like it when it's
different in a good way (like cutting in lines, or a front row seat).  Does
that make sense at all?  I don't know how to explain it.  How do you guys
deal with this?
