So, having to deal with my "mobility issues" has made Wendy more sensitive to the matter, and she told me last night about a documentary that was done at the U, where she's in school, that was shown to one of her classes. The documentary was about the reality of handicapped access vs. the "party line". One of the things the documentary showes was that an "able" person can get to a classroom in 93 seconds, while it takes a disabled person needs 20 MINUTES to get to the same classroom. Part of the issue is that, to get the key to use the lift to get to the second floor, you have to go to the office that they keep it in, which is on (wait for it)...
the SECOND FLOOR!
Just another fine example of people who don't stop to really THINK about what it's like to have difficulty moving like "normal" people do.
