People with or without disabilities will never achieve their full potential until there is a revolution that empowers all. A revolution to eliminate primitive prejudice and primitive paternalism with its values of power and prestige and its authoritarian cookie-cutter solutions. A revolution to establish a culture that focuses the full force of science and free-enterprise democracy on the individualized empowerment of each person to achieve full personal potential. Individualized empowerment means that cultural supports will be molded to the individual preferences and abilities of each person. Individualized empowerment means that every aspect of government and society will be infused with the principles of ADA, of IDEA and of independent living - of Independence, Inc. Individualized empowerment means choices for all, power for all, government by all.
Free enterprise becomes real for all.
Look around the room. The buck stops here. You are responsible. I am responsible. We are responsible.
