[blindlaw] Pimp My Cane

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

Perhaps its my age and experience but I have nothing to prove by not having 
the cane notify and protect the public from any unforeseen consequences. 
Perhaps we need to get on with real life issues instead of living in a make 
believe world. I for one believe that I have a responsibility to the public 
just as a driver of a vehicle would have the same responsibility to a 
pedestrian. I also have more important things to do in life than bucking the 
system for the sake of doing so and making fashion statements.
