Re: Should We Treat Seniors & Disabled as Criminals? (Rafael-alexandre Ramos) II

I know it wasn't a performance, Frank.

What I'm understanding, is that disabled people will be confined home since not able to get attendance for their needs outside of their homes ( except for getting them to the doctor or hospital ) which will be paid back by the state. Therefor, since that population is in general not rich ( since rarely able to work for a living ( especially seniors ! ) or living off an important money heritage ), they are dependent on government funding for the care they get from attendants.

Anyways, I was just thinking about that regarding your performances, saying to my self that you are probably not driving yourself to the venues, etc...

But then again, it was stupid for me to ask : I guess it has nothing to do with your everyday needs and that everybody participating to the performances helps out voluntary with whoever needs something.

Hope you didn't misinterpreted it,

Another thing is that California seems going bankrupt: federal government is to take action for citizens to continue receiving the services they once had,

But fucking recession, what an excuse for everybody to cut on social matters: even in Quebec, North America's most socialist lands to live in, they are putting a fee to medicair ( and remember, health is ( supposively ) entirely free in Canada ) and rising education fee's ( it used to be 1000 $ a year for university 10 years ago; Now, we're up to 2000 $ a year and they wan't to raise it up to 5000 $ a year ! )

Anyways Frank, got to get to work, keep those updates coming,

you are right, Rafael! I always have used my friends /lovers as my attendants. I have gotten shit from the disabled community over the years For this. They thought it was not independent to depend upon your friends. I was always into inter- dependency! Whatever! Anyway, I am getting little money for roughly EIGHT HOURS A DAY for attendant care. In reality I need and have TWENTY-FOUR HOUR "care". So this don't affect me at this point. But the crips who don't have friends are in trouble!

and yes, cuts in social services are always tax on the poor instead of on the rich!
