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

No, it was just a little tedious and my connection kept dropping 
on me.  I'm not too lazy to download the 11 volumes, but if 
there's an easier way out there, i.e.  downloading the MP3 files 
or downloading the book from Bookshare, I would much rather take 
that.  BARD has a sound recording of it too that I can download.

"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

 I really need to read that book! I was going to download it from 
NLS WebBraille,  but you have to download each Braille volume 
separately, and Walking Alone has 11 volumes total! Wow! And I 
thought I was going to get a hardcopy and read it! I should 
probably just download the MP3 files onto my Stream from the NFB 
site, or get it on Bookshare.

 You're welcome, Ray.  As I say, the doctrine has little actual 
legal scope
 anymore but all-too-often lives on in the public mind.

 I'd bet that if you put "Contributory Negligence" into the NFB 
site's search
 box, you'd get a slew of Monitor articles including one of mine 
and perhaps
 a reference or two or three in "Walking Alone ...".
