[Nfbf-l] Sight is Required

[Tara Prakash Tripathi]

In fact you should think from the perspective of civil rights. There was a 
time when people of a specific race could not do a lot of things they would 
have wanted to. They didn't change their color, they managed to change the 
world. Same thing about women, gays, jews, all kind of people have been 
discriminated against at some point in history for being different. In place 
of counting our limitations, we should point fingers at the environment that 
imposes limitations. Can we do everything using nonvisual means? I am sure 
some day we will. Or the work on the bionic eye is progressing rapidly. So 
chill out, join the movement, better days are on their way.
