[nabs-l] ACB VS NFB

[Aziza C]

I agree with Amy. Besides, when you speak of the differences between
the two organizations, you don't tend to get very far in the NFB,
(Sorry guys, its the truth.) I've vowed to research the two
organizations' histories, however issues in my personal and
educational life have prevented me from having the time...

>From what I understand, and this is not based on any oppinion I have,
the difference between the NFB and the ACB is we are more straight
forward, we apparently, "destroy," things that have problems in them,
then "rebuild them," whereas the ACB works to "fix as they go," by
making small adjustments here and there until it is fixed.

Like any group of people we disagree on certain topics, like the
accessibility of money. But, again this is only what I've heard. I
have no oppinion as of now, except for the oppinion that somehow,
eventually the two organizations need to reconcile and agree to
disagree and the members need to stop picking on each other and
avoiding the topic like the pleague. Maybe I'm just making wistful
wishes, but time will tell.

Thank you.
