Dave,

There are wheelchair self defense classes.  I'll cc this to a guy who
contacted me about trying to find funding to distribute a self defense
DVD and program for folks with disabilities, and cross-post it to
C-Palsy.

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.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
