[nabs-l] March for independence

[Jim Reed]

Hey all, 

I am not going to be participating in the national convention's March for Independence. I will not be participating because I don't feel comfortable doing so. I don't feel comfortable doing so because I feel I would simply become an oddity for the sighted to stare at, kinda like a display piece at a mueseam. And depending on who is doing the viewing, I (we) may just be considered a freak show. 

I was just wondering what others think about the March, and how others view their role within the March.

Keep me with stern and stubborn pride,
And when at last the fight is won, 
... Keep me still unsatisfied." --Louis Untermeyer
