Ok, bare with me here for a moment, and excuse my language.
When you get lost do you
a: call the cops and ask them where you are, and waste money in the process?
b: wave down a cop when you don’t know if one is near you?
c: wave your hands around and make other blind people look like jak asses in the eyes of an already general populous who think blind people are incapable of doing anything for themselves?
d: go in to a business and ask someone where you are, or just simply try and ask someone on the street for directions
e: try to get your bearings together and find your own way.
I ask this because I know of someone who was tought to do what a, b, and c say to do.  I was tought by two outstanding mobility instructors to do what d says, and tought myself e.  I want to know what you all out their think.  I personally think that making blind people look like helpless jack asses and wasting money on unesesary calls is pointless.  I’m almost sure most mobility instructors would teach their students to do what choice d asks.
