[Nfb-or] should the blind adapt to the world, or should the world adapt to us?

[Mike Freeman]

There's disagreement in the deaf community also. Ever mentioned cochlear 
implants in a convention of the Deaf? Yet it has its def/HH adherents 
also.

That said, I'm perfectly willing for all the blind to join NFB! (har)

Joe,

I think you bring up a really interesting point, and if you bring it
up on the list in a separate thread, I would like to be a part of that
discussion. I think you're right about a lack of a blind community
which is unfortunate. Maybe this is because there is such a wide range
of skill level and sight impairment. Based on this thread it seems
like we have a hard time as a community with coming up with something
we can all agree to. I would really like to see the blind community
getting as close as the deaf community. Is that something anyone here
thinks we can achieve. If so how?
