Here is the link <a href="http://umanoapp.com/clip/523c9ad17c61a4bef0d94b92">http://umanoapp.com/clip/523c9ad17c61a4bef0d94b92</a> if you’d like to listen to it as well – it’s only about 2 minutes long. Essentially, the article praises a store manager for giving a blind guy $20 of his own money after the guy dropped a $20 bill and the person who found it would not return it. I have very mixed feelings about this article and I’d like to hear what you all think. On one hand the store manager did a good deed that should be appreciated – he gave out of his own pocket to help someone. But that’s where my good feelings about this situation end. Here are my problems with the situation. First, would this guy have given his own money to anyone else who dropped their money ‘and’ would he have gotten the same notoriety and praise for doing so? Why is the fact that he gave to a blind guy so noteworthy? Because the general public still sees blindness as something to pity. That’s all I will say about it for now, because I’d like to hear what you guys have to say. Do you agree with me or do you have a differing opinion to offer? I’m eager to see what conversation follows. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Melanie<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#595959'>--<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'>Melanie Peskoe<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'>Affordable </span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:red'>Avon</span></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'> products with direct national shipping!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Bradley Hand ITC";color:#403152'><a href="http://www.beautywithmel.com">www.beautywithmel.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>Vehicle Donations Take the Blind Further <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>Donate your car to benefit the National Federation of the Blind today!<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>For more information, please visit: http://</span><a href="http://www.carshelpingtheblind.org/"><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>www.carshelpingtheblind.org</span></a> <span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>or call 1-855-659-9314<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
