[blparent] cleaning up broken glass

    It's like saying, we as blind individuals should not take advantage of 
the sited and t

for granted that they can see. But we as blind individuals can see things 
differently than the sited...

I have a sighted 13 year old and  he lives here so he can do the job.  I
