Hi Peter,

In Dr. Richardson's notes she makes the observation that Roosevelt's compassion, likely, emitted from his tough experience with polio. Now, perhaps he would have had compassion without that tough experience which resulted in him being different, disabled.

But, nobody will have that experience, rich nor poor, in America, anymore to build humility and build understanding.

Because the vaccine keeps us all healthy and well and, if we are born rich, as was Roosevelt, then, that opportunity to learn by being bent, is no more.
