[Blindtlk] Letter to the Editor: Dining in theDark events re:[blindtlk] fw: MIRA Foundation

Really? Well, in my opinion, there is a fine line between 
ignorance and stupidity; and that, my friends, was stupidity!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Mike I know you are right.  During the week the blind students 
from the colorado center were injured and I gbelieve one was 
killed there were people out there that thought somehow they were 
responsible just because they were waiting for the bus.
