41. Except for the fact that separate but equal flies in the face of the ADA
I understand that some people think that it would be better for the disabled to have a 'special' place where they can go to have fun or be themselves, but why the segregation? Why don't we encourage a society that is accepting of people different than ourselves? That may mean a disruptive child at a theater or a messy eater at a restaurant or a wheelchair in a shopping mall. We need to learn to co-exist.

(I think I just went off on a rant on you and didn't mean to direct it at you. A private showing is a thoughtful gesture, but it would continue to isolate this young man from the society that is supposed to be embracing him).
