SOunds like a good group. I can just see their opposition: the
para-fascists, who claim that the term "Ascender" is an offensive term,
signifying that the physically and mentally challenged are in a low
(i.e. poor, bad, un-able) position, and thus the Alliance is actually a
front for the ethnic cleansing of the 'culture' of the physically and
mentally challenged by the 'able' un-challenged, and any challenged
individual who belongs to the Alliance is a patsy....
