This needs development or at least I would like to hear some. I am not one 
for silence if there is a problem---not with the book but with whatever 
experiences you and others have had.

I've seen a lot of what is implied, having been the fly on the wall in many 
disability movement meetings over turf, bringing this or that disability 
into the fold, working endlessly to get a consensus with stolid pains in the 
ass, etc. Consensus was essential precisely because simple majorities were 
often not a solution with such conflicting interests between diverse ranges 
of interest among disabilities.
