The word "humane" is not the one I used; I simply said, "Deplorable, yes, but not fascist & better than many underdeveloped nations." How do you think the disabled live in nations with economic development comparable to or worse than China? Are they all admitted to universities, well employed, & married with children if they want to, unlike the disabled in China?
