[Blindtlk] visually impaired married to a sighted

[Peter Wolfe]

Carly,



    Well, I don't know what specifics that you speak about with your
time with the Federation so can't comment on that portion of your
comment. However, I realize that not one person can do everything onto
themselves because that is beyond reality of not only blind people but
anybody. All I'm saying or the Federation is attempting to convey is
do as much as humanly possible for yourself for your the only one who
knows your unique circumstances. No one organizations has the
resources or man power to weild this into conform with the variants of
individuals in the world with any level of percission.


    Whether we all like it or not that the United States is a
capitalist country with the institutions that enforce these elements
in our society. We cannot rid ourselves with this reality but we can
educate ourselves of the practices that discriminate or scam us in
this system. Irregardless of whatever political belief that
self-sufficiency is being adopted even in the liberal idealogues in
D.C to the tech community as a whole as being more cost controls will
happen. I also think itws a good thing to realize that general rules
don't apply in all circumstances is a great thing. I've heard of blind
people in rural Alabama using ropes as guides to get from their dirt
roaded homes to the streets just a small example of the innovative
spirit of blind individuals. Creativity is what society and
individuals with blindness need not more bureaucracy or control as
much. Maybe one day this all won't matter cause blindness will be
cured with stem cells or other federal efforts.



talk soon,
Peter
