Or perhaps whatever god you believe in knows you can't write your insights
down so, taking a page from the Devil, inspires all sorts of universally
true and enlightening insights a la Firmat's Theorem that will vanish into
thin air in the morning. (grin)

Um... maybe Cause your mind is more relaxed? You don't have to think about
much so you can think more clearly? IDK. Just my late-night thoughts...

Yeah, I'd say so. But I was thinking a while ago and realized
that there
are loads of cases where training is required in order to
function, not
just blindness. I can't remember what specific examples I
thought of at
the time, but I'm sure they'll hit me at some God-forsaken hour
of the
night.
Respectfully,

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

I think I know him too. We got our guide dogs at the same time
back in
2004.
I remember Matt really loved baseball at the time, and he was
always
playing
outside with his dad. I couldn't really speak English at the
time and we
were very young, so I don't think we got to talk much.
Actually, when
they
were matching dogs with owners he got assigned my current guide
dog, but
Matt walked too slow for the dog, or maybe it was the dog
walking too
fast
:). But the fact is that I ended up with that dog, which is
still
working
wonderfully! I was always walking a little faster than the dog
they
assigned
me at first, so it worked out very well. I guess that's the
advantage of
instructors having a huge pool of trained dogs to choose from
for each
person.

I believe Matt Cooper participated in Youth Slam 2007. I met
him and
was
quite impressed with him just because he was a down-to-earth
kind of
guy
who didn't toot his own horn to much. He was an all-around good
kid.
I really liked the title the school gives to its DSS office. It
makes
so
much sense and isn't euphemistic at all. "Office for Accessible
Education." I think I might suggest that to my school.
Respectfully,
Jedi
