[nagdu] To Doug

I remember the NFB fighting these very same issues in the 1970s!  It just 
sucks that we have to go round and round on this issue again in 2013!

Just proves to me what I always say - don't get complacent when it comes to 
our rights.  No matter what we win yesterday we fight again today.  I see 
this trend in the women's movement on contraception and abortion and in the 
LGBT community as well as the disabled and blind communities.  We have to 
stay vigilant forever!
