Think about the governmental invol
vement in the Polio vaccine. The research,
the effort, the resolve, the hope, the cure.
Think about the millions of children vac
cinated in governmental inoculation pro
grams administered through the schools.
Think about your son, your daughter,
look in the mirror, look in the play
grounds and the parks. No one need die
from Polio ever again. Why not cancer?
Why not Musculsr Dystrophy?
Yes, direct support for all fatal dis
eases. You can call it a mild form of social
ism if you want. I call it doing what's right.
How to distribute the money? Propor
tionally, by numbers afflicted. How to get
the money? Stem the growth of the
defense budget. Raise taxes if we must. A
hundred dollars out of my paycheck each
year would hurt, and believe me, I'd gripe
about it. So would you. But, dammit, it's
right. The amount of money a disease
receives shouldn't depend on the celeb
rity it attracts, and neither should its
victims.
Currently, as presented in telethons,
the person who is handicapped is seen as
someone who we should feel sorry for,
someone to take pity on, someone who is
les3 than what we are, someone to pat on
the head and toss a quarter to as we pass
by. And finally, a thing to discard and
forget about Cor another year.
We can't afford to think that way. Peo
ple with handicaps are part of society.
They are real No better or worse than
anybody else. They are not good because
they are handicapped, nor are they bad
because they are handicapped. They're
just people like you and me. And they're
not going to go away. They don't disap
pear after the last seconds of the telethon
flicker into darkness. Neither should we.
They deserve better.
