Please don't group me with your judgmental ways. I've seen her a couple times over past years and have had NO such thought. It's a wheelchair..big deal.

Did any non-leading character in the performance stand out? The fact that you did notice her is the point I'm trying to make. I would probably make the same point for a little person or an albino or anyone else who attracts the eye in a situation where blending in is part of the job description.

34	Stacers76 Tue 5/20/2008 5:30p	I swear I typed a whole post and guess forgot to hit the button...oye...anyway.. I do agree that I noticed, but I didn't sit and ponder it either...it's the end of that comment of people noticing and deciding whether it's a "good thing or not"... Maybe it was just weird wording, but I don't think whether it's good or not is up to us nor should it be.

37	danyoung Tue 5/20/2008 7:01p	>Maybe it was just weird wording, but I don't think whether it's good or not is up to us nor should it be.< That's not a bad point there, Stacers. Food for thought.
