/good point about the need for disability culture, interaction, participation, etc.
I recently attended the South Banks' Festival of The World.
there was a section called choices and rights. it reflected on disabled people's arts and culture and our history of struggle.
I was pleased to see it. Pleased to see our history reflected but felt somewhat offended that we were separate, fenced off, not included in the same way.
Would the experience have been as powerful if we were just merged into an ambivalent lump of art?
I think its a difficult thing to come down on one side or the other.

/Perturbed a Witness was
The Day
I saw God
In a crack in the pavement
Perturbed the Witness was
The Day
I saw Dad
Walk past us both. Dead.
From time to time i stop and talk to a Jehovah's Witness - a black guy with a round smiley face and generally positive demeanour. He knows from occasions like this that whilst i stop and talk i do not believe - even when i see. Your reference to a crack in the pavement reminded me of this.
