I sense a hint of rascism in the jabs at the Build it Yourself Leg
. This guy may not have a superior product, but I'll be darned if he
does not have a superior idea. Why should this not be run with and
turned into a viable possability for the MANY of us with no insurance
or extra money. Cheaper and more immediate than high tech
advancements - or at least the high tech money has not been directed
towards this playing field - and who the hell is against self
sufficiency?
And while I'm on my rant as an average joe advocate with real
technical experience, and I am sure I'll take blows for this - why are
there so many programs for Vets - and not your average joe I have
to work too many hours a week to worry about a new leg - I'll just
live with the pain awhile longer type of guy? Of which we are MANY!
Ther should be special programs for Vets - but just as important are
programs for every one else. We give our lives every day to be a
working , giving example to society, our communities and our families.
Many don't know we are amputees. And few know we are in need of basic
human necessities.
There seems to be a metaphorically imbalanced see-saw here.
There. I don't have spell check either. But I'm not stupid, and I
might have a better idea than you.
