Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Dear Louise, I applaud you for taking the time to contact the manager of this store and be a champion for this young woman. I don't understand what people think that it takes away from them to be kind to another being. This cashier must certainly not like herself and she probably thinks she is justified using such aberrant behavior. As someone who has donated their time to teach handicap adults and children I can't stand it when I see this type of persecution. If these people would take the time to know those born with Downs Syndrome they would get the honor of knowing some of the most loving and giving people around. --- Louise Neustadter <RNLouise@...> wrote: > Tess; I also got really upset a my local grocery > store yesterday.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 I have an older sister who is like this. She feels as if everyone but her family is wrong and that everyone else is just in her way. I think that these types of people are so miserable with themselves that the best punishment is to let them live with themselves.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 Dear Louise - Some people can be soooooo dense. How is your sister today? My cousin was hit on freeway by a young man going 100 mph and she was in a comma for 6 months. When she awoke, she had to learn everything over again. She now is (3 years later) living at her new home with her husband but her life is forever altered. She will never be able to read higher than the 3rd grade level. The amazing thing is that through it all, her goodness and light let her remain who she is at the core. Don't others realize that handicapped people have feelings and understand when people are being cruel? Keep on giving them hell! --- Louise Neustadter <RNLouise@...> wrote: > Iris; I know how it can be for handicapped adults. > My younger sister is brain-damaged due to a severe > car accident in the 70's.She has difficulty walking > and has problems with her speech.
