And your reasoning is, in part, why these lists exist.

i can't speak for anyone else.  The reason I stay is precisely because of
discussions like these: even if I disagree, I get to analyze other
positions, learn about experiences, and generally come away a more
intelligent, informed, confident and independent individual.

I'm afraid that I concur with you that almost *all* lists generate far more
heat than light -- unless their moderators clamp down so hard that the lists
become boring as hell!

But I confess to sometimes wondering why some individuals keep reading our
lists when they find so much objectionable about us.  And no, this is not an
invitation to leave.  It's just an expression, as King Mongkut put it in
"the King and I", "is a puzzlement!".

Fair enough, Mike.  I can understand where you're coming from.  
To be
fair, and none of you guys would know this since you don't know me
personally, I often use that phrase, stepping into the lion's den, when I
sense that a topic is becoming heated.  In my life, I have rarely witnessed
constructive debating or criticism.  I always associate disagreement with
argument, which is not always the case, but that's just a bad habit of mine
to say that particular phrase because it is what i've personally felt like
more often than not.  
99%
of the time, it has absolutely nothing to do with the NFB, but with other
situations that occur in my life.
Having said that, the incident I spoke of happened a few years ago, and I
have since looked into various things to do with the NFB, and spoken to
several members that I know.  While I do feel that several things in the
NFB's philosophy clash with me, I'm not going to drag them out on a public
list.  There would be no point in that, since I've already settled my
disagreements in my own mind anyhow by deciding not to join.

 With respect, although all of us must make generalizations from that with
which we have had experience, it would seem just as unfair to use such
loaded phrases as "the lions' den" to describe our discussions as it is to
use unexamined the phraseology of NFB propaganda (and I think there is no
dishonor in propaganda).

 I concur with your assessment, but don't expect to get any support  from
NFB members.  I give you props for willingly entering the lion's  den,
though.

 My reservations are primarily attached to what I see as a "my way or  the

distinct feeling the NFB really believes it has found *the
way* of
 understanding and living with blindness.  While the NFB's particular
methodology may work for some people--and has a good deal to commend
it--it's just not something I'm comfortable embracing.  I also detect a
kind of insularity--a constant "looking in" if you will--that is  unhelpful.
It's one thing to have a like-minded community, but I  sometimes feel as if
there is a kind of feeling of superiority over  sighted people--or even
non-Federationists! I have felt distinctly out  of the loop and out of place
at some NFB events because I wasn't  "plugged in", didn't know the lingo,
and didn't have the kind of  personal history that most other federationists
seem to have.  I cannot  use these experiences to discourage anyone from
joining the NFB, nor  do I wish to.  As I said previously in this
discussion, I am  uncomfortable with arguments based on anecdotal
experience.  
This,
 then, is not an argument for or against the NFB--it probably explains  more
about me than the Federation.  I hope that helps clarify a little.

 My perspective is similar to Desiree's.  I have every intention of  getting
more involved in blindness advocacy in some way.  
However, I
 have reservations about all of the organizations there are.  
(It's
 totally possible those reservations will go away some day.) For now, I
want to figure out what's going to work best for me as a blind person  and
do what I can individually to help others as well.  There is great  value in
collectivity--no mistake--I'm just at a place where that  isn't how I
believe i can best function.  I do hope to attend the  convention one of
these years, though, and my mind could definitely  change!

 I know I may come across sounding antagonistic toward the Federation  at
times.  I need to work harder on moderating what I say and how I say  it.
But believe me when I say I see a ton of value in the Federation  and a
great deal that I like and agree with.  Fundamentally, my  philosophy is
very similar (I think) to the NFB philosophy.  How it is  worked out
practically is sometimes where the rubber meets the road.

 Hi,
 While I won't speak for Peter, I'll give my own perspective on why I
choose not to join the NFB or ACB.
 It's not about having a superiority complex.  I don't consider myself  to
be better than anyone who is part of an organization.  
however, I
 like to draw my own conclusions, keeping politics and hidden agendas  at
arm's length.  That's why my involvement only extends as far as  listservs
will take it.  I feel that reading messages written by  individual members
is a much more unbiased, not to mention realistic  view, of how the members
of each organization live, work and interact  in day-to-day life.  At a
meeting or convention, there's the  expectation that one must carry
themselves a certain way, say the  right things, be inspired by all the
right catch phrases.  
That's not
 limited to organizations for or of the blind, either, that's a fact of
human nature.  When you draw a large number of like-minded individuals
together, and get them all to focus on one specific problem,  proposition,
or what have you, the people will either put their best  or worst foot
forward collectively.  There is little time for  individual thought
processes, emotions, or personalities to take root  and stand above the
rest.
 I am, by nature, very reserved, maybe I could even be classified as a
loner in a lot of ways.  As I said, I think and draw conclusions best  when
there are no distractions, no bells and whistles so to speak.  I  take what
is important to me, what fits in with my values and beliefs,  and apply it
to how I live my life.  I don't honestly feel that I need  to belong to
anything to find my purpose, nor should I be told that I  have no purpose
unless I'm at the forefront of every high and low  point in the
organization's history.  I am content with this, and I  feel that I have a
right to speak out about it, since it's a viewpoint  which most who hold it
would probably not be comfortable expressing  for fear of being blamed and
shamed.

 Hello, Peter.  I have not followed this thread, but I have looked at  one

 I
 suppose you believe there is some kind of superiority in being what  you
might call an independent.  Perhaps you are right, but my own life
experience indicates that having influence means joining with others  of
like  mind, exploring how you can understand them and get them to
understand  you,  and then acting together in a concerted way to bring about
the better  world  we all say we want.  One popular buzzword you can't help

infrastructure, but  there  is  a lot to be said for having a way to effect
the change we want.  
For
 me
 this
 is the National Federation of the Blind.  For others it is the  American
Council of the Blind.  Though the organizations may disagree from  time  to
time, one thing most all of us share is that we have made a  commitment  to
blind people that extends beyond words.  We are willing to put our  time,
our  energy, and our money into helping you, whether or not you appreciate
that  we do so or ever raise a finger to help us.  Much distance remains for
us  to  travel, and we certainly can use a willing hand at the oars.

     In fact, the best method that anybody can teach you is  improvization
not  technique persay.  It doesn't matter where you get any information
from  on  these things whether NFB, ACB, AFB, Lion's Club's or wherever as
long  as  you  get whatever information.  Make-up yoru own techniques and
sell a book  for  all I care as long as it works for you that is all that
counts.  
I
 could
 careless as logn as you share the information with fellow blind
individuals  that is my thhing that it shouldn't matter what special
interest  group  that  your apart of cause we should all work together in
dealing with a  rotten  situation to make it better.  By the way, I'm never
going to be part  of  NFB,  ACB, AFB or any of them.

 Kelby,

 Your question is a fair one and I don't have a definitive answer.  I  can
only tell you that I received training before there were NFB  centers and I
have been a reasonably successful traveler and have  generally managed my
life successfully.  However, in the work I have  done with BLIND
Incorporated, I see that there are things I missed  when I was trained.  I
think I have picked up much of what I missed  primarily because of my
association with others in the Federation.
 It
 has more to do with being confident enough to try new situations and
knowing that I'll figure them out even if I don't know exactly how  at  the
start, and less to do with how many inches I swing my cane left  and right.
In my opinion, and you may see this as a cop-out, it has  less to do with
comparing the quality of one's travel skills and  more  to do with whether
one actually gets out and travels.  These are not  easy things to measure.

 I know you some via e-mail and I think we may have met in the past,  but I
don't know how well you travel, for example.  What I do know  is  that most
of us are affected by the general attitudes that surround  us  in a way that
is hard to measure.  Even though we have some idea of  what our capabilities
are, unless we are exceptionally confident, we  are going to tend to believe
it if we are uncertain how we would  accomplish a given thing and someone
tells us we can't do it.  I  believe there was a time when there was a clear
dividing line  between  NFB training centers and many other centers.  We
believed that we  have  to affect one's attitude toward blindness and
oneself while most  other  centers believed that they need to concentrate on
teaching  techniques.
 The common belief among some other centers was that changing  attitudes
toward blindness was dictating a philosophy and was outside of their
mandate.

 Frankly, I think this has changed some over the years and that there  is a
more general acceptance of the notion that one's belief in  oneself is
probably as important as the techniques used so some of  the  lines are not
as clear as they once were.  Still, I am skeptical of  how well attitudes
can be changed in a couple of months, but of  course, it depends some upon
the starting point of the individual.

 It was observed at one of our state conventions that we are not all  good
travelers.  The person making the observation, who shall remain  nameless,
said that they felt a need to jump in and help but there  were too many
people to try to help all at once.
 However, they soon realized that good techniques or bad, people were
getting where they needed to go without assistance, and that what  appeared
to be potentially frustrating to an observer was not the  case  for the
traveler.  This isn't meant to diminish the role of good  travel techniques,
only to make the point that there is more to  travel  than techniques.
Having said all this, though, I also believe that  what we have come to call
structured discovery is a valid difference  in how one learns to travel.  In
some ways, it takes longer to learn  but provides a better base from which
to work.  Some of us who did  not  attend NFB training centers have adopted
this approach on our own to  some degree, but we would probably have adopted
it more easily  having  had training in an NFB center.

 I have seen somewhat of a pattern in a number of your messages.
 Often, you start rejecting a position that some of us have taken.
 Then, when you hear the stories that some have told, you seem to be  more
open to the possibility that there are sometimes reasons for  positions we
might have taken.  I won't bore you with the details of  the time I almost
missed a flight because I allowed myself to be  talked into waiting for a
cart, only to have one not be available  for  close to an hour, and how the
airline employee refused to tell me  which gate I needed to get to.  Anyway,
some of what you are hearing  here would have been a part of your training
at an NFB Center.  
You
 would likely have been given the chance to interact personally with  people
who had similar experiences so that you could ask them  questions.  You can
get some of this information here, of course,  but  what about the many
experiences that are not discussed?

 Still, I think it makes sense to be careful not to judge one  another.
 My goal is not to convince you how bad your training was, because it  might
be all right.  I feel pretty certain that there are things you  didn't get
that you would have gotten had you spent time in one of  our  centers as
indicated above, but I don't really think that is the  point.  The point is
how can we help you now and how can you help us  and other blind people?
Are there things you are not comfortable  doing that perhaps someone else
here is comfortable doing?  We could  even explore here some of the things
that many of us have overcome  as  a result of the encouragement from
others.

 Sure, I'd like to have the words to make you see things exactly as I  see
them, isn't that always true?  In the end, though, I don't care  that much
whether you believe there is a difference in training  centers or not.  I
care more that you have what you need to get a  job  when you get out of
college and that you are able to live as full a  life as you can live, and I
believe there are ways we can help you  do  that.

 Best regards,

 Steve Jacobson

I have as of yet seen no actual compelling evidence for  this claim, and no

training I have is bad.  (Those who don't know me can't offer any reasons,

Well we all need good mobility skills.  A dog is not a replacement  for
mobility skills.  Whether you use a cane, sighted guide, or a guide dog.
If you haven't been to an NFB School over the training you get  locally then
you don't know what you are missing.
Never going to them myself.  I have seen what someone with no knowledge of
any of the services or very little in there own areas, and come back from
our schools with the confidence and the mobility and the other services that
are given there.
If NFB is interested in forming a guide dog school on the NFB's philosophy
then it comes with the first steps in mobility and then a dog.  I have not
been blind all my life.  I lost my vision as an adult, and I learned the
mobility and cane skills, my dog doesn't  know when to cross the street, I
have to give him the direction to do so.
Know if I am mistaken in what is being said, I am the first to  mention when
I am wrong, but there will be a day that we will either not  want to take
our dogs places, by our own choice, or in between a dog, or whatever the
issues are.  That I know the skills to get me where I want to go whether it
is with my Maxx or not.
Have a great night all.
Take care and god bless.

 When the NFB centers were started, many years ago, there was a real  lack
of quality training for blind people.  I don't really think  that's the case
with guide schools.  There are some schools which  do  things differently
from others.  But, there are people who prefer  one  approach over another.
I don't really think that NFB needs to get  involved with guide dog
training.

 As for Peter's suggestion that students would go through the nine month NFB
center training, first, this will severely limit the  number of  people
choosing to have training from an NFB guide dog school, should  one be
started.  I don't know to many people who can give  up a year of  their life

 Subject: [Blindtlk] NFB Guide Dog School, A Possible Scenario

 Good afternoon Julie and everyone,
     Julie and I have had many conversations on this issue in the past so
she  knows where I'm coming from.  In line with her comments below I'd  like
to  suggest a possible scenario for an NFB-run guide dog program:

         Since we all ready have three orientation and adjustment centers
for  blind adults and youth there would be no need for a facility for
housing  students in training to be constructed.  
Hold
on folks.
Students
 wishing to
 obtain a guide dog from the NFB's program would be required to complete the
 6-9 month program at one of the centers.  During the student's "Bootcamp
training" the center has an opportunity to come to know  the student
inside-out and will be able to furnish lots of background information on the
applicant to the guide dog unit.  Unlike current guide dog  programs that
must  rely on references and other information that may be true or  false
the NFB  guide dog program  will have all ready had accurate information
gathered for  them by the training center and can be assured that the
applicant  is a  suitable candidate for a dog.

     This approach will also assure the guide dog program that the student
is  up-to-par with their cane skills and is capable of transferring  them to
the  use of a dog.  Students that successfully complete the cane  travel
component  of their immersion training  would be eligible to receive a dog.
 This
 approach would also permit students receiving a dog to complete other
aspects of their immersion training minimizing the wasted  time students
often experience when at guide dog training facilities.

     Students undergoing guide dog instruction would be required to  wear
sleep shades as they do when taking other center classes and  participating
in designated center activities.  Like students who  undergo cane travel
instruction at our centers those training with  dogs would be encouraged to
travel on their own prior to completion  of the training.  In the beginning
they could be accompanied by an  experienced guide dog user/trainer but
would be expected to travel  and complete "Monster Routes" entirely on their
own using their  dogs.

     As for the dog component of the operation I imagine it would  operate
similar to those of current guide dog programs.  The  program  would operate
its own breeding component or obtain suitable dogs  from  donations.  The
usual period of socialization and puppy raising  wouldn't be that much
different than is done by current guide dog  programs.  The dogs would
return for a period of training when  they're taught how to guide a blind
person.  Once the dogs are  ready  to be pared with their future blind owner
they along with an  instructor would be sent to the center where the student
receiving  the dog will be trained.  Alternatively the NFB guide dog program
could operate from one of our centers.  Those wishing to obtain  dogs  once
their "Bootcamp"
 training is complete would transfer to that center for training  with  the
dog.  Using all ready existing facilities to house students in  training is
one way to reduce the cost of training guide dogs.

     The above is just one possible scenario of how an NFB-run guide  dog
program could work but I'm sure others would have additional  ideas.  If
it's to happen at all the discussion must continue at a  cost of 0 to
participants.  All the best.

 I think the answer to protecting the dogs is two fold.  First I would  like
to see a more in depth background investigation of the blind  applicant.  Do
a criminal background check, require more references, ask  the
neighbors...whatever it takes.  Adoption  agencies place  children  into
homes surely we can figure out a way to more accurately know  what  sort of
situation the dog will be placed  into.
Secondly, I think  there  are already agencies in place for dealing with
animal abuse, the  police  and animal control.  I don't see any reason why
these agencies  can't be  used in cases of neglect or abuse.

 In regard to cost and the blind applicant absorbing the cost of  the dog
in order to own the dog outright is an extremely valid point.
We
 have
 to stop expecting everything for nothing.  I like the Seeing Eye's concept
of charging the student.  I do wish that the cost had increased  over the
years with the cost of living.  It has been
$150
since  the  beginning of the school in 1928.  I think that's the  right
year.
 $150
 was a very different sum of money then and now.

 I also think that guide dogs can be raised and trained for  substantially
lower sums of money than $60,000.  If you look at the  various guide dog
programs and how much each claims it costs to  train  a dog, the numbers
vary widely.  All those buildings, fancy food,  excessive equipment and
other niceties cost money.
