[Blindtlk] should blind people go barefoot?

[Constance Canode]

Hi Ray,

I am a city person, born and bred, so the only time I go barefoot is 
indoors, never outdoors.  Blindness has nothing to do with it, in my 
opinion.  I prefer shoes even in my own yard, although when I go out 
on the deck, I take my shoes off to relax on the hammock.  I would 
never go into a public place without shoes or walk around a hotel 
lobby or hallway without shoes.  I hate having to take them off in 
the airport to go through security.  I work in a medical field, and 
all I can think of are all of the gross diseases and bacteria that 
you might be exposed to  from someone else.  Going barefoot in my own 
home is just fine, but nowhere else.
