I believe in justice, ethics, and the law - if I were to do anything to violate my principles for the sake of retaliation, I would have no justification for demanding that they be held accountable for their misdeeds. No, no - I will not act rashly or foolishly. Yes, the egotists are blinded by their own cleverness. To me, true intelligence dictates the application of knowledge in accordance with the loftiest principles of ethical conduct. Further, all of these folks (and many others in this society) ASSUME that if a person is disabled, then they couldn't possibly be intelligent. Suffice it to say that they all have drastically underestimated my intelligence, as well as my resolve. I will have justice - not revenge.
