<P class=MsoNormal>The School of Piano technology for the Blind in Vancouver,
WA has partnered with the Washing State School for the Blind in a speech club.
Two club members speak each week and an adult gives a training talk each week.
All persons also have an opportunity to run the meeting and participate in
extemporaneous speaking topics each week. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In the last two weeks we have been talking about the need
for high expectations for blind people. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>During the training portion of the meeting I gave the
attached talk. At the end of the meeting a sighted volunteer expressed
personal offence to the presentation and felt that I was an angry blind
person. What is your opinion of the talk and viewpoint
expressed?<o:p></o:p></P>
