[nfb-talk] Can we please stop the political discussion on this list?

[lkeeler at comcast.net]

I thaught our purpose is sort of political! Having said that we are composed 
of all sorts of folks. Our purpose to me is to learn how to work with the 
powers that be wherever they come from and make sure our rites and 
priveledges are protected. Our responsibility whom ever is at the helm is to 
make sure us passengers have a say in which direction the boat goes! We may 
have to change our approach as an organization to combat what changes we may 
find threatening but, its happened before and I'm sure will happen again!

I also think separating contents and distributing different comments to
different lists is a good idea.  In the beginning of the discussion, we
talked about the new administration and blindness.  I suggested several
things we can do as blind people.  Unfortunately, there were people
attacking each other on  the list instead of taking their argument off list.
I also think people should be able to join political or any other discussion
groups outside the blindness community.  I, for instance, joined a local
book group at the library.  I am the only blind person there, but that
really does not matter as we always have interesting book discussions.
