[Blindtlk] liveral vs conservative wasAdjustment to BlindnessTraining, NFB Centers or Not?

[Peter Wolfe]

Julie,


    For what its worth that your welcome on our explainations even
though mine was the best! Seriously that politics affects the blind
even mmore so than the normal population cause of the lack of
incentives for people to voluntarily aid the blind. In general,
minorities extremely benefit of protecttions, regulations, and
economic policy in the U.S today. I'm glad you can decide between
either camp that is admirable just hat I've decided that liberals are
the wave of the future and conservatives have a traditional view that
as a gay or bi man that I don't like.



hugs,
Peter
