I worked for a Principal once who was, without a doubt, one of the most self-centered and narrow-minded individuals I ever had the DISpleasure of working with. One afternoon, he introduced me to another Principal -- new to the system and head of a rival HS. When the new Principal left the school later that day, I asked my administrator, "who was that again? He was kinda cute."
He told me, and then added, "He's handicapped." I never knew really how to respond to that. I hadn't even noticed the man walked with a slight limp, evidently from polio.
Ironically, my Mother had polio as a young girl, and walked with a very pronounced limp. My stepfather had been injured in an accident in a manufacturing plant, and he also walked with a very pronounced limp. Not to be cruel, but to watch the two of them walk side-by-side was just short of being comical. I happened to be with the two of them one evening in a nice restaurant, when who should walk in but my Principal and his wife. I introduce them to my Mother and stepfather, who by that time, are pushing their chairs under the table.
The introductions done, hands shook, smiles all 'round, my parents turn to leave, and proceed to limp away with their backs to us. I couldn't resist looking at my Principal, and asking, "You notice anything? They're handicapped."
Today's Question(s):
inspired by Bluesbabe's post yesterday
When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ?
There are some people who comment regularly on one of the online newspapers I read who have an idea in their mind that they feel a need to drive into the ground. Unfortunately they refuse to acknowledge that the solution they are proposing will never work, because the entity they want to have changed is only doing things as required by state law. You can explain,post links to the state statute, verify your post, etc. and they still just "don't get it". I'd like to just shake some sense in to them.

Today's Question(s): When was the last time you "Rattled someones cage " or at least wanted to ? Many times I'd have liked to but I'm easy going and reckon "this too shall pass" is a good motto. Unless it doesn't pass, then I rattle their cage.
