I'm hoping that the stories will taper down as people slowly realize that <I>all</I> people deserve basic rights and respect.<BR/><BR/>JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-72733980046566219552008-07-31T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-31T13:11:00.000-04:00My first comment here -- hi!One thing I've been wo...My first comment here -- hi!<BR/><BR/>One thing I've been wondering about noticing the fear stories -- and there've been a lot of them lately. Is it maybe kind of like the summer of the shark attacks? Remember back in 2001 or so, there were a ton of shark attack stories, to the point that one would almost want to reconsider one's beach visit plans, and yet statistically there were no more attacks that year than any other. Maybe this is just the year that mistreating-autistic-people stories are the "cool" thing for news outlets to run.<BR/><BR/>Could be? I personally have encountered much more help and kindess out there than the reverse!JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-4510315923828163032008-07-29T22:19:00.000-04:002008-07-29T22:19:00.000-04:00I have those fears too.
