It is a &#034;is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.&#034;[1] Funny thing is, it appears that even within an oppressed group, oppression happens.

His entire life flows from his imagination and his ability to think. I can well understand his fear, and even terror at the idea of losing it. If he wants [...]]]></description>

A brief discussion on Twitter prompted me to write this anecdote about wheelchair access.
