[nfb-talk] Tragedy in Denver

[d m gina]

Many prsons who are sighted feel they are with profection.
So when they go blind, they feel less than a person.
Not putting together what that sounds like.
I just hope Denver and other states will come up with an idea how to 
have a buss stop safe for everyone.
