[Blindtlk] Why do we advocate?

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

another pet peeve is people who take thingsto the extreme with no middle ground.
i didn't say pay your neighbor to take you everywhere every day, i said what's wrong with asking a favor once in a while?

  Hi, All;

              This will be the very last thing I post.  I asked a question and
  now it's implied that I only associate with blind people.  If we're to
  depend on sighted people to drive us everywhere, why do we as an
  organization advocate at all?  Why advocate for Internet access-just get a
  neighbor to read things for us!  

              I thought this organization was about making life better for
  blind people.  Guess I'd better ask more questions of our leadership before
  I say any more here.  I asked a question, plain and simple.  I work
  full-time and don't need this.
