All people are part of their culture, and folks with cognitive, sensory, or physical disabilities are no different. (I'm a "damned Yankee living in rural southside Virginia, who will sometimes try to tell the locals the truth about one of their sacred beliefs....and even my husband gets mad at me!) Cultural collisions keep life interesting, but they doesn't keep the peace. Anne Anne L.
