Re: OT - Two Choices

Personally, I don't care if the story is true or made up. And I think the
message is that winning isn't always the most important thing. I don't think
it was a "pat on the head" to the disabled, but that someone did something
to make someone else happy, and that is not a bad thing in my book. There
are always those who will turn good intentions and into an evil thing. Oh
well.

What would you do? You make the choice! Don't look for a punch line;
There isn't one! Read it anyway. My question to all of you is: Would
you have made the same choice?

Actually, story comes from a story by a Rabbi that appeared in
a book of his. The article on snopes:

http://www.snopes.com/glurge/chush.htm

gives the cite and then argues that this is not a good thing, that it
is "... bestow(ing) upon the disabled a pat on the head instead of
granting them acceptance for who they are, ..."

Interesting article.
