[BlindTlk] rude delta staff

Mon Jul 16 19:48:30 UTC 2018

And there are certainly times when one wonders how much progress we really 
have made, I mean, I never would have thought back in 1975, when I first 
joined the NFB in Connecticut that over 40 years later we would still be 
dealing with this subminimum wage nonsense, but we are, even though the 
dynamics have changed.  What attending national conventions does do is 
encourage us to continue, and recognize that if it were not for the NFB and 
the large amount of work that has been done over the years, things would 
likely be far worse than they actually are.  I think the fact is that 
educating will be a lifetime process for us, I don't see that changing any 
time soon.

I have never had this happen to me but I agree that your “help” was 
inconsiderate. I have had lots of these type trying to “help”” me on buses 
or across streets I didn’t need. You should not nlame the NFB. We are made 
up of fallible individuals just as rest of the population. Sadly this stuff 
still happens. Our march is different than 75 years or so but we cannot 
expected problems like these to disapear. We need to be grateful they are 
less common and do they best to handle it well when it happens. I feel your 
frustration Bryan. Educating takes a lot out of your some days!
