Reply #7: I agree the scant help is appalling --

[snot]

I was disabled for a while, and was shocked at how hard it is to function, and how inconsiderate some non-disabled people are.

But I'm sure at least once, before I was disabled, I sat in those seats without even noticing the signs. I wasn't a total creep; I hadn't ridden the bus lately, had a lot on my mind, didn't notice the signs.

I know it's hard to have to keep insisting on our rights; but that's what EVERYONE, disabled or not, must do; and we start losing ground the moment we stop.

Waiting for others to figure out what OUR rights are or should be never works very well. The more we stick up for ourselves, the less we have to -- because more people WILL already have gotten the message.
