[Nfbc-info] the redbox issue on the internet

Sat Jan 14 05:41:53 UTC 2012

You never know until you try though, in fact I've signed several
petitions from http://www.change.org that went pretty high high enough
to gain the attention of the intended audience they petition to, and
like the Banks charging to use ATM Debit Card at ATM, the petition was
very successful and the banks declined that idea, so why not?
If you stand for accessibility, then go big and prove to them you're
serious about this issue, if not then do yourself a favor and sit back
with the rest of the world who hasn't the clue as to how to fight for
equal access. Ok enough ranting raving and encouragement from me, it
is all up to you alll now. Not posting anymore and now I know why some
of my nameless blind friends don't how shall I say it...agree and end
up boohwhwing certain blindness organizations, and I personally
believe NFB among other similar organizations can fight for this as it
is or should be under the ADA to take action regarding accessibility,
after all, we shouldn't be left in the dark with everything that is
mainstream, seeing as is we are in the mainstream world whether we
choose to be or not to be and like or dislike it. Enough said as I
said before.
Good Night!

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you
forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated,
but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to,
then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in
the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of
the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti
