...clean strokes and the reassuring hues of red, white, and blue; beneath his portrait, in bold block letters, was inscribed a single word—“HOPE.” It was simple, but it was enough. That one word, transmitted across the nation from person to person as current through a wire, galvanized the masses into elevating a young senator from Illinois to the swankiest digs in the Oval Office...
Living with a developmentally or physically disabled person completely changes the scope of almost every aspect of one’s daily life. Nowhere is this burden greater than for the parents of a disabled child, a population that has been shown in medical studies to undergo more physical stress than almost any group. To pull the plug on support for this dedicated demographic is unacceptable.

Moreover, tall men tend to earn more than shorter men. Other things being equal, an inch of height is worth nearly $800 a year in salary. But that may simply tell us about the stereotypes of what corporate boards think a CEO should look like...
