I rather like it and it's rather strange for me to be so out of sync with other Neat-o readers. But then again, I don't mind Kanye.

No one mentioned it, but doesn't Estelle strike you as a black version of Lily Allen? That hit me immediately.

I don't think that the west chases them down with sticks and pitchforks a la the Hunchback of Notre Dame (anymore at least.)

I do think there is more of a tendency to try and normalize them or ignore the handicap or difference. The essential difference is tolerating versus worshiping.

Working in special education, I've never seen a "normal" person harass one of my "special" students. But I can't count the number of times they've been outright ignored.

It's striking how India treats children and adults with deformities, genetic disorders or birth defects with such reverence. The girl born with extra arms and legs, the girl born with two faces -- they don't hide them away at all. They rally with them. The are revered for differences many times. Just very different from Western thinking, it seems.

I laughed at the duck clip. Then I went to brush my teeth and saw my rubber ducky sitting on the edge of the tub. It's not my rub-a-dub pre-req, but it does hang out near the bath.
