[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

Hello Ronza:

You wrote in part:

"we've been folding money and using other nonvisual techniques for 
literally
centuries, and it's worked just fine."

Then I wonder why the idea of using a money identifier is not frowned upon 
by the NFB?  I'd certainly like to be able to identify the paper dollar bill 
without having to fold it.  This is so true in a commercial environment 
where I am running a retail store and where customers DO NOT have the time 
or patience to wait for me to fold the bill a certain way as it is handed to 
me.  I hope the Treasury Department implements the court's orders pretty 
quick; otherwise, when my dollar bill identifier packs up, I will be in real 
trouble at my retail store.  Making it easy to identify the paper dollar 
bill saves me time; I will NO LONGER have to send my equipment in for 
recalibration when the fine prints on the paper bill are changed.

As for a cane with different colors, I've often tinkered with that prospect. 
As my Holy Book tells me, "Law is made for man and not the other way around" 
sorry my paraphrase may be a bit out of whack, but you get the idea!  I am 
of the opinion that the law that COMPELS ME to carry a white cane needs 
close scrutiny and perhaps there are aspects of it pleading for a joyous 
change!

Sincerely,
Olusegun
