I am discriminated against because of my disability all of the time, especially by the courts... and everyone turns a blind eye.

The discrimination cuts short my life... and no one cares. Not just about me but about all of those like me.

The discrimination against the disabled is rampant.... That's why the Supreme Court decided in favor of the ADA, Title II, in Tennessee v. Lane...

yet the judges where I am completely thumb their noses at it.

It just is sooo discouraging.

I wish more press went to these issues... of the rights of those struggling in their disabilities for their rights.
