[blindlaw] The Census does not track the blind

[T. Joseph Carter]

Not really.  Census data is used in statistical analysis of the whole 
population.  That's about all, really.  Remember that we are already 
lumped into the category of blind people.

I note once again that they CANNOT collect data on blindness for this 
census because the data would be invalid.  Census data has already 
been collected without including blindness, therefore unless you go 
back and re-survey every single person (impractical verging on 
impossible), the data cannot be valid.
