Ah, theorems...  reminds me of geometry.  Very interesting 
though.  Gets quite philosophical :) But I believe there is logic 
to it...  the world works in mysterious ways...

Actually, I'll write online as I misspelled poor Fermat's name.

I was just being mischievous in insinuating that God might 
himself/herself
be mischievous and inspire you with all sorts of world-changing 
insights
just when you either (a) couldn't write them down or (b) were so 
sleepy that
you didn't have the energy to get up and write them down.  In 
either case,
by morning, you will have forgotten them and the world will 
remain the same
humdrum place it was yesterday.  9grin)

Fermat was a 17th-century French mathematician who postulated a 
theorem in
number theory for which he said he had a proof but there wasn't 
enough room
in the margin of the book he was reading to write the proof down.  
The
theorem wasn't proved until quite recently and the proof was so 
esoteric in
and of itself that few mathematicians understood it.

Hey, can you explain that? I find it interesting.  Your thought, 
I mean.
Feel free to write offlist if you want.

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...

Lol, yes.  Why is it that everything comes to you when you are in 
bed?

 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.

 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

 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
