    <p>You appear to have missed the point.  The objection wasn't to
      research.  The objection was to a fundraising campaign that
      patronized, demeaned, and infantilized the blind and also served
      to misinform the<b> </b>public about the competence,
      achievements, and capabilities of the blind.</p>
    <p>Campaigns of this kind are irresponsible and harmful, even if you
      have a burr in under your shirt about the NFB and its efforts to
      improve the lives of the visually impaired and educate the public
      about the social stigmas that holds them back.<br>
