Descriminations

                        One might think we live in an age where discriminations have been cut to a bare minimum, as far

as addressing them goes.  Gender discrimination, racism, and discrimination towards the disabled

and less fortunate have been acknowledged, dealt with, and handled.  Our children are taught to take

care of the elderly, help the poor, and to stare at people with disabilities.  The mentally handicapped,

such is not the case.  Police assume we are trouble makers.  I have been stopped countless times,

sworn at, and threatened by arrest, for simply standing on a street corner or holding a skateboard.

Meanwhile, a handful of preppy teens stand by, doing the same thing, yet not getting a word towards

them.  We are assumed to be on drugs and trouble makers, as well as Satanists, witches, and that

we're depressed.  I speak from experience.  Judging based merely on an assumption wasn't just back

in the days of the Salem witch hunts.
