The joys of oversimplification

[rainbow_goddess]

There are a lot of memes that go around on Facebook. Today I saw two of them that were just so incredibly ignorant I could hardly believe it. I choose to call them "oversimplified" because they try to take something complex -- the definition of "disability" and the use of drugs and medication to treat diseases -- and over-simplify it into a meme.
