[blindkid] Keep blind workers working?!!?

[Marie]

Have any of you gotten a phone call from someone who claims to represent an
"association for the blind" that has some workshop in which they have blind
workers who make trash bags and other miscellaneous items? Apparently their
products aren't selling well enough to keep the workshop going so they are
calling people asking them to buy the products so the workshop can keep
employing blind people?!!? 
I am outraged and offended by the idea that blind workers cannot produce a
product that can be marketed and stand on its own merits without mention of
the fact that people who produce them are blind. 
Any other thoughts?
