[Blindtlk] non 24

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

I don't know what you think was assumed.
The blind actors in the commercial make all blind sound like they are so
clueless that they don't know when to sleep or do something else.
Real or not, I will assume that it's due to other stress with normal life.
Would there be commercials pushing the pills if no money could be generated?
Luckily I haven't been asked how will you be on time if you don't know when
to sleep during an interview.
Bryan

Bryan, a few points for your sober and careful consideration.


1.  This condition called "Non 24" really does exist.  When I first heard of
it, I just thought it was a bunch of ACB generated crap.  However, actual
personal experience and that of many blind people for whom I have much
respect has shown me differently.
2.  It isn't a matter of a blind person not knowing when to go to bed.  That
assumption is total crap.  You can't make the assumption that everything and
everyone out there is against us so we always have to assume the worst.  
3.  The reality is this.  Non 24 does exist.  There is a drug to combat it:
but, I myself will have nothing to do with it.  This is largely because most
of my life right now has no set skedual.  Were this otherwise, I might look
in to it.
4.  In fairness to your point, I do take some issue with the tone of the
commercials.  I thinkk they could present blind people in a more positive
light while pointing out the serousness of the condition.  My suspition is
that this is where your complain really lies.  But Bryan,. always assuming
the worst is not an outlook I find very helpful to us either.
