I agree that disabled can be explained and understood in many ways, but the entire time I was reading Erevelles' essay, I could not help but to think of John Lennon's song "Crippled Inside" from the 1971 Imagine album. I suppose to a point that we are all crippled inside, perhaps some of us more than others, but as the song says "you just can't hide when you're cripled inside." I also make a refernce to Johnny's post about Brown vs. Board of Education. Clearly anyone who lets prejudice guide his or her life is crippled and deformed. In no way am I trying to take away from those who are mentally and physically handicapped. I think my point is this: we all have areas in our lives we need to work on.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
