[nabs-l] Living by NFB's Philosophy questions

[Jedi]

Gerardo,

I use a rather simple mental tool to figure out whether or not I should 
do something. I ask myself "Is this something a sighted person would be 
expected to do?" If the answer is yes, then I do. If the answer is no, 
then I make up my own mind.

Respectfully,
Jedi
