[nagdu] Animal Advocate Calls Blind Guide Dog Users Cruel &unfi

[Marion & Martin]

Ron,
    I agree. Just think about whether this activity removes the stereotypes 
and misconceptions about blindness or only serves to reinforce them. Any 
time I have done these things, people have made such comments as, "I don't 
know if I could do it!", "I don't know how you do it!", or "It is so 
difficult!". These types of activities, in my opinion and by what others 
have said, are not "what it's like to be blind", as being blind requires a 
set of skills that cannot be learned in a few minutes, thus giving the 
misconception that it is difficult. I hope you will take the time to read 
the article I attached to my first message and consider a well reasoned 
position.

Fraternally,
Marion
