#1 "The truly sad part is that those who really do have a disability will not be able to get what they need because all the funding is gobbled up by these imaginary disabilities."

CF, the 'newly disabled' will probably just need to hold a telethon or web-a-thon or something....the Washington (state) loony gruberment would NEVER take funding resources away from the truly needy (cough, cough,...spit).

#2 I'm obviously disabled and thus eligible for benefits under Washington state law as I have asthma and arthritis/gout (the former occurs daily and prevents me from performing some activities such as mountain climbing, running the hundred meter dash, or competitive weightlifting, and the latter occasionally prevents me from walking without a limp or a cane and requires massive amounts of painkillers to control).

None of it prevents me from remaining gainfully employed or doing activities that I really do enjoy (such as hiking, Rantburging, writing, etc.).

How far off can California be from this?

Show me the money!

#3 Any mental, developmental, traumatic, or psychological disorder, including, but not limited to cognitive
limitation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities

Does that include Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS)?

#4 With a lack of ablity to smell lots of things I can't work in a chemical plant with my computer skills. So I should qualify as disabled from what job?
