In a village of dirt roads and stone dwellings just north of the Turkey-Syria border, a slight rain falls as a hunched man clad in black wobbles down the pavement. At first glance, as seen in a BBC documentary, he appears inebriated. He clings to a stone wall to his left and lurches uneasily. But then he slowly lowers his hands, encased in green slippers, to the muddy ground. Gingerly, he begins to walk away and out of the frame — on all fours.

I'm thankful for the ability to walk upright.

I watched the doc. Oh, my spine is aching in solidarity!

Another bit of trivia: the only family to have a toilet mounted on the wall.

I see this before ... Points to think on Mom & dad closely related... brain damage in kids & 6-7 kids born in 5 yrs no one teaching them to walk properly. This is 8 yrs old. I wonder how they are doing an up date would be nice.
