[Nfbf-l] clarification

Sat Mar 24 01:57:34 UTC 2012

Actually, the initial point you made was about sounding off on ‘stand 
your ground’.  But perhaps you may have stimulated thoughts on yet 
another issue by merely voicing your thoughts on it?  which is 
exactlyhow threads are developed. The traffic goes both ways from what 
I have seen NFB to FCB and FCB to NFB.   It appears that many belong to 
both organizations and the emails blend together.  It is not that ACB 
shows up, but that individuals who share similar life journeys 
recognize a common issue that affect them or that they want a voice in. 
Caribbean-American writer, poet and activist, Audre Lorde, said "It is 
not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, 
accept, and celebrate those differences."
I believe we are all part of one blind community and each has so much 
to offer.  I celebrate being part of both.
Warmly,
Cathy-Alice Koyanagi

>> It's again not a relevant email but if I must reply, here we go. After

>> When you questioned the media in the context of the teenager murder case,

>> As a senior member of NFB you are expected to stay on topic more than

>> of my email, you chose the wrong side, having to do with tea party.
>> As about the other side of the pulpit, the other side of the tea party, I
