You know, when they made the prosthetic tail for Winter the dolphin, they made advances in prosthetic s that made a great deal of difference to disabled humans. What ever that man is doing, he is going to create a world of difference in how we see disabilities, and in how the disabled can perceive themselves, in addition to any way in which his running may help the development of artificial limbs.
And you know it is true. Look at how some of you are implying that some how he is ''advantaged''.
There must be almost a quarter of a million young veterans who have lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan. He isn't just running for himself. As I see it, he is running for all of them.
Let him run. And for God's sake, let's get Tiny Tim that operation that he needs too. Oh, wait that would be socialized medicine. Effing Commie Bastiges... Mark my words, someone is going to get some kind of advantage over me. Well... Not on MY dime !
