[Blindtlk] fw: seeking applicants for the Main Menu team

Sat Dec 24 04:36:11 UTC 2011

Mike, I apologize for my naive mentality, but what are the organizations
philosophical differences? I am afraid I have never known. I feel I am a
blind person and you are a blind person. I feel that we are all blind human
beings and we "should" all work together to make our world a better place
for all of us to live. I know its probably silly for me to believe this
since our society has such a hard time working together and making things
simple, rather they tend to make it so complicated.
Best wishes,
Mari Hunziker
