Full text of Greg's question:
Mr. Parsons, this is a wonderful gathering of diversity, but one element
of diversity that is not represented here very much is America's LARGEST minority group, people
with disabilities. Early on, I was told to forget about television and so I went into radio and
have been very successful, as an entrepreneur, I might add. Because the same limitations that
exist in television exist in radio, my question is how can Time Warner lead the way to including
a message of STRENGTH from America's disability community into the media, because I refuse to
believe those who say that I'm not good looking enough for television!"
The room erupted in applause.
