EH? It's Simply Common Sense
Welcome to our website where we try and look at things sensibly, which means we will usually be at odds with the established order. As a result this website is not going to be popular with big government and well paid bureaucrats, the empire builders who live and work in a comfortable cocoon while the most vulnerable members of society struggle to survive. Simple things that may seem insignificant to most people are critically important to the health and well-being of our less fortunate citizens.
What?Why?Who?How?
What is this all about?
EH? is all about looking at the everyday things that affect our lives and asking if there is a better way. It’s all about Common Sense, a term often used to imply that a sensible approach is the norm although history clearly shows the opposite to be true.
Why are we here?
If we do not ask the big questions then who will? If the questions remain unasked then they will never be answered, and the problems that gave rise to the questions will be unresolved. People will still be hurting, money will still be wasted and we will continue to foul our nests expecting somebody else to clean up the mess.
We also ask a lot of small questions, things that are insignificant in the grand scheme of things but incredibly important to those individual people to whom they matter so much. Small questions with simple solutions should to be easy to answer and the problems they involve should be easy to fix, that makes sense doesn’t it? Well it just ain’t so!

How do we do what we do?
We work from a very simple premise, bring these things out into the light of day and let everybody take a look, judge for themselves and hopefully respond to the call for action that we will propose. If people are complacent about the inanities that abound in our world then nothing will happen, but we have a lot of faith in people. We think that, given balanced and honest information, people will make the right choice for themselves and others.
We involve people in the issues, lots of people. We have a cadre of experts within the disability community who will lend us their expertise because they, like us, are committed to pushing the disability envelope forward one step at a time.
