[nfbmi-talk] Fw: BSBP Commission meeting agenda for March 28, 2013

Tue Mar 26 12:02:45 UTC 2013

Joe,

It doesn't matter if this thing, whatever it is feels insulted. It has no 
power. It has no design. It is meaningless.

It has even less value and power than the old CIC had.

Each and every member of the new construct could be as right as rain and 
above the fray. It doesn't matter one wit, for this thing has no, and I 
repeat, no power.

It isn't even a good dog and pony show either by the way.

It is just a rubber stamp at best and was designed that way.

It is only a mirror for the new narcisist on the block, Ed Rogers.

Now, watch him privatize everything with this federally funded program.

Charter school for the blind anyone?

All made in the image of Ed Rogers.

More than a year ago I told folks where this was going.

That is not "name calling". That is a fact, sir!

Last summer I called sell-outs for what they were.

Now, we rally around what?
