[blparent] OFF Topic: Question about Car Titles

[Barbara Hammel]

You probably ought to ask a lawyer about that.  I know there are blind 
people who have owned cars, though.  I don't know how they did it.  They've 
got to be pretty stupid if they don't know you won't drive it.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
