My dad saw this story on 20/20 last week. Pretty amazing. My dad says that there was originally more to the story. They talked more about his board and the boot thing that he wears that was custom made for him. ABC News <= linkski

Why the hell do you want to fund him?
It seems like he has a pretty normal life. He's never had to adapt to living without legs, he was born like that. It looks like Sector 9 gives him gear. He's got a nice camera. He's traveling all over the world. Seems like he's good to me?

It's like buying a black person a car.. Why? Because they're a minority?
