[nagdu] Neighbors mourn death of blind pedestrian; his service dog will recover

[The Pawpower Pack]

Julie and Marion,
I completely agree with what you both say here.  Our lives seem to be  
worth less.  If this had been a sighted person there would be at least  
some investigation.  But when we get hit or killed, automatically the  
thought is that we are at fault some how.  But it's the same in other  
areas as Marion pointed out.
If a sighted person hires a cleaning service, for example, it's  
because they are too busy or the person doesn't want to do it.
If a blind person hires a cleaning service, it's because we need help.
Same thing with all kinds of things.  I cut my hand a couple months  
back while cooking.  It wasn't a big deal but it happens... to  
everyone!  And you wouldn't believe (or probably you would) how many  
people were flipping out about me cooking.
It's just a double standard.
