I prefer having enough interpersonal skills, relating one human
to another human - irrespective of sex, race, disability,
homosexuality, religion, color, ...
All the usual United Nations stuff...
One of my biggest complaints about the do-gooders, is THEIR
MATERIALISM. Because they lack people skills, they IMPOSE
gadgets/ pets onto us. They crowd out the provision and supply
of MERE PEOPLE!
Ok, I'm a male. Disabled, but a male. That means that finding a
socially ok companion is very easy for me. There are manu
socially adept women around, also looking for companionship.
Especially if it is a man without the usual obsessions about
sexuality & prettiness.
Unfortunately for disabled women, the available men are not so
plentiful. Men in general (disabled or not), are lacking in
people skills.
Men, in general, relate best to people via GADGETS.
Traditionally these gadgets have been knives, guns & armoured
vehicles.
Ron, I'm not saying anything about You. I don't even know you.
But I am trying to make a point:
PEOPLE SKILLS ARE NEEDED. All else follows.
