Comments on: Overcoming paralysis http://mothergoosemouse.com/2006/10/03/overcoming-paralysis/ A first-grader destined for a career as a lawyer, a pre-schooler whose screams can shatter glass, a bouncing baby boy who evaded an IUD, a man who can drink his weight in Natty Light, and a woman who has long since given up caring about the condition of her kitchen floor.

Treat all people well... don't pigeonhole (sp?) or victimize yourself or others... get on with it. Not every action has to be major...do what you know is right.

I totally agree with acting on your own accord and teaching your children the same. Sometimes you just won't have an advocate lined up with you but you still got to do the right thing. My father did this recently for his own sake (I'm so proud of him) and it turns out that he had a very positive effect for others, but that's not why he did it. He made the decisions on his own behalf, the rest is just gravy. I really enjoy your sensibilities. Wow, I have never heard that.

I thought that I was pretty well versed in the history of my culture. Apparently not. I would really like to know who the NAACP considered to be unfit & why? That being said I don't think that the NAACP was entirely justified in their actions. Perhaps they were looking for someone whom they felt was well spoken or more educated. Perhaps it was because she was a minor. I don't know. I will however do some more research on Claudette Colvin. Thank you for the info!
