People need a place to live and to hold a meeting about group home housing is in fact a waste of time and money. There should not be a meeting on such a subject. People with disabilties have a place in our community and should be able to live here just as I or anyone else has the right to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825243.post-1114584244549515402005-04-26T23:44:00.000-07:002005-04-26T23:44:00.000-07:00The comments of the meeting attendees just prove t...The comments of the meeting attendees just prove that those with disabilities are still seen as not having a place in our communities. I feel this attitude is the same that existed when the accepted way of dealing with people with disabilities was to lock them away, out of sight, out of mind. We are supposed to be more enlightened in this new millenimum, but it still feels as if nothing has really changed. The underlying fear is still evident.<BR/> Everyone is accepting of the disabled as long as their "space" is not breached. I feel these people are missing out on genuine frienship by not embracing those who have challenges. <BR/><BR/> Perhaps before speaking they should educate themselves and refrane from making unfound judgements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825243.post-1114039478385664322005-04-20T16:24:00.000-07:002005-04-20T16:24:00.000-07:00This response to the meeting is similar to the peo...This response to the meeting is similar to the people that scream for more jails... but then say, "But not in my back yard"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
