Sunday Open Thread: December 3 is United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities

It should be noted that humans do not have disabilities, they have impairments. The societies and cultures in which they live are corrupt and dysfunctional and create disabilities for those with impairments by tailoring the culture, practices and infrastructure of their society to those without impairments. This is something that needs to be rectified. A few wheelchair ramps here and there is an enormously inadequate solution.
