As the first of the baby boomers are reaching their sixties, IMHO,
another Grey Panthers movement is likely; I'm hoping that the line
between "having difficulty getting around because you're getting older"
and having a disability will not be as sharply drawn.  I look at people
in my parent's and grandparent's generations, and still see a strong "us
vs. them" bias, particularly toward people who are perceived as having
cognitive disabilities.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

No joke there!  I wonder if it'll ever  happen.
