[Blindtlk] about LWSB

[T. Joseph Carter]

Can’t think of any reason why they’d send Ray to a psychiatrist.  On 
the other foot, perhaps they were just trying to keep him on his 
toes.  Still, you have to tread lightly with such matters as some 
people have fairly sensitive skin underfoot.  At the same time, you 
can hardly walk 'round the issues indefinitely.  I dunno though, I 
just can’t put my foot on any plausible cause for concern here.

*grin*

LWSB pretty consistently continues to garner a reputation for being a 
bunch of sighted people who want us to know how awful it is to be 
blind, if nothing else.  That alone suggests to me all I need to know 
about the organization.

They still have the most backwards philosophy about blindness I ever had anything to do with.  I'm not talking from what somebody else told me; rather, I'm talking from actual personal experience.
