Thanks to you, and what I have learned through your blog, I have so many resources to give her, so many wonderful places to connect her to.<BR/><BR/>This post is is so wonderful. I wish I has something really profound to add, but it really says it all. Peace,respect and understanding... The world would be such a better place.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for all you do, to bring this goal to life.<BR/><BR/>XOXOXEileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07404287269933967532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343920797910396030.post-75881800875005460722008-04-03T02:18:00.000+01:002008-04-03T02:18:00.000+01:00I once went to a lecture where the Professor made me understand that, Darwinianly speaking, every excceptionality is a potential species saver. that's how it works. What many see as a "disability" would be, but for an accident of environment, an advantage. We need all of our diverse and exceptional people in order to ensure the survival of our species in a dramatic environmental change... which may happen quite soon.
