[Nfbf-l] clarification

Sat Mar 24 03:16:53 UTC 2012

I appreciate that and have been trying to kill the thread in the interest of 
the list rules. And after a nice doze of abuses from Kirk, I find myself 
enriched, as far as vocabulary is concerned. Talking about making 
assumptions about people that are patently untrue, I would like to clarify 
for the list that I am a citizen of this country so going to use the 
suitcase right here. This land is my land ... So, hopefully I and Kirk, 
along with the rest of NFB family,  will continue to fight together on 
blindness related issues. I apologize for the wrong judgment I made.

>> It's again not a relevant email but if I must reply, here we go. After 
>> your email to Sheri, I was trying to avoid  responding to your emails. 
>> When you questioned the media in the context of the teenager murder case,

>> too long.
>> As a senior member of NFB you are expected to stay on topic more than 
>> anyone else. You should have addressed the ADA and rehabilitation act 
>> side 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 
>> can't just avoid it at this time. It's okay to tax millionaires more than 
>> others so that blind children of America can be educated. We need people 
>> to pay taxes so that people keep getting their social security checks. I 
>> don't claim social security but I support it at any cost, no matter what 
>> tea party says. Since we at NFB advocate for government intervention and 
>> tea party is against it, the NFB and tea party are on completely 
>> divergent course. This is how I see the issue. And, This is why I am

>> Hopefully next time you write, it is something relevant to the blind and 
>> not about your political biases. Or a small talk with me.
>> I hope this thread should be discontinued now.
