oh i dunno...it's all perspective. I used to volunteer at a school for Autistic children, and did so for many years. I found it very rewarding. I also used to take grown up people living in "special" group homes to the circus, or baseball games twice a year. USUALLY you only were paired with one person, but I generally got 2-3 that I had to chaperone. I have a TON of hilarious stories about those trips. Stories that YOU might find in poor taste, but are none the less comedy gold.
You have to be able to laugh at life. Life is a joy, revel in it. There is humor everywhere.
Some people are just a bit to "tense" for me and this Politiacally Correct stuff went too far IMHO. They need to remove that pole out of their tuckus's and laugh a little.
