[nagdu] . O-T: Blind People are Faking it.

[Julie Phillipson]

WHAT WAS NOT SAID ON THIS IS BELOW.
Hi everyone,

Below is something that if you can't laugh at far out humer then I would 
suggest not reading it. The spoof came from a publication in Madison 
Wisconsin that does this kind of thing. Not sure how appropriate it is for 
the list, but sometimes one just needs to be a little crazy!!

>> The first issue I must point out is their very public display of armed

>> In a surprise attack, strategically placed squads of the "blind"

>> encompasses more than just personal weaponry. Many of the alleged blind 
>> also own large, vicious attack dogs for the supposed purpose of guidance

>> slavering "guide" dogs could become guided missiles!
>>
>> Indeed, most of these fearsome beasts are German shepherds, a species of 
>> killer wolf invented by twisted, Fascist dog breeders, which has somehow 
>> fallen into this most suspect faction of the disabled.  The most 
>> frightening aspect of this diabolical conspiracy by far is their ability 
>> to communicate with one another unbeknownst to upstanding citizens. Their 
>> secret code consists of a series of raised dots cunningly arranged into 
>> arcane shapes. Known as "Braille," this demonic alphabet has begun 
>> popping up in places that were doubtlessly chosen for their mundane, 
>> everyday outward appearance:
>> elevators, building directories, automated teller machines and the like.
>>
>> This system seems rational enough, and does not attract undue attention. 
>> But think! If the messages on the signs changed suddenly, how would we 
>> know? Next year, next month, next week, maybe even tomorrow, the signs 
>> will change from "second
>> floor" to "STRIKE NOW! STRIKE HARD!" and our nation will be thrown into 
>> the chaos of revolution.
>>
>> At this juncture, there is no hard evidence that the blind are planning 
>> such a revolution.  We hope to have such evidence very soon. But can one 
>> group possess such an overwhelming element of surprise and fail to use it 
>> to seize power? And can their goals be anything but evil?
>>
>> No, I say! I maintain that true blindness lies in failing to see the 
>> threat where it must obviously lie, and we must be vigilantly wary of the 
>> blind menace.
