[humanser] Drivers license requirement for employment

[Carly Mihalakis]

Good morning, Ericka,

If you feel that defensive about your identity, I guess of course you 
will have such feelings. However, I tend to feel if people don't 
simply ask and receive an answer they feel is acceptable, the 
employer simply might fill in missing information with conjecture 
and, if you have an imagination like mine, anything of which your 
imagination can conceive! So, not wanting people's understanding of 
me personally  as well as of blindness to derive  of unsubstantiated 
conjecture people have been scared into not vocalizing, definitely 
won't help anything. Fact is, even with your unwillingness to speak 
on a presence like blindness, your blindness is a forgone conclusion. 
Do you really want to render something they teach is a "mere 
nuisance" something that powerful, to represent the proverbial 
elephant in the room?
for today, Car
