[nabs-l] An Article about another Student at Myy College

[Kirt Manwaring]

Jedi,
  Maybe it'll makemore sense if I say it this way.  I wasn't refering
to a person's intrinsic value.  I should've said we can't compete on
an equal level by default.  I'm going to invert a statement you've
heard a billion times.  Without propper training and opportunity,
blindness is a great deal more than a mere nuisence, and is, in fact,
a very significant limitation.  Would you agree?
  Best regards,
Kirt
