Which really doesn't have much of anything to do with much of  
anything. Just because one has been blind from birth does not  
automatically mean s/he has accepted or adjusted to blindness. It's  
certainly possible for someone blind from birth to strongly resent  
blindness, to believe it not to be respectable, to find it an  
insurmountable barrier to a full and productive life. Clearly Margo  
doesn't find it so, but living with blindness for your whole life  
doesn't necessarily make you well adjusted to it.
