Not exactly. More like because "overcoming" is more of a thing for a special person. Kind of a "credit to your people" thing. Very individual and about the effort of will. Movement people don't like it because if everyone thinks a crip can make it if she's strong enough, then it takes away from the civil-rights aspect. Also, what if you can't mentally transcend your limitations?ETA: Overcoming, like presidenting, is hard Dang, poor bear...that's so weird.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And while I might enjoy a novel about a circus bear detective, I can't imagine the bear would enjoy being shaved hairless.
Not to mention that it would SUCK to have the job of shaving the bear.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My mother has not had every bad job.Will have to mention this one, as it embarrassed her when I told her what a "fluffer" was.(I thought she knew already.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had a flash of memory about a blind guy with a sword cane, but now I think it was someone just pretending to be blind? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There's the movie Blind Fury, where Rutger Hauer played a blind Vietnam vet who trained as a swordfighter. Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost) co-starred.

When we were talking mysteries and disabilities I thought, "Ironsides" -- but didn't mention it because I don't know whether it was ever anything else but a tv show.
