I was watching an old episode of Family Guy (Season 5,
Episode 14: No Meals on Wheels) the other night like I always do. I was
actually quite surprised that I had not seen it before. I find the show
hysterical because like most comedy, it reflects reality. You should probably
watch the particular part that had me in fits of giggles but also got me
thinking before I continue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joxoSfGWGxM
The reason this clip caught my imagination was it confirms
what I have said in previous posts. There are people out there (probably Ian
Duncan Smith and co.) who see the disabled as a drain on society, who take in
the form of benefits but don’t give back. Like Peter Griffin suggests, there
seems to be a thought amongst some that being in a wheelchair full-time is a
pathway that I have chosen. This seems like a funny and ridiculous idea but
unfortunately, it’s true.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share that clip with you because
it confirms that people who feel disability is an immoral lifestyle choice are
complete idiots, just like Peter.
By the way, I hope you all like what I’ve done with the
place. I worry the blog might become a bit boring a stale so decided to
redecorate. Change is good.
Bye for now!
