PhilosophY: 
Recently, a number of groups have made it known that when they are written about, they wish their group identity to be capitalized: e.g., “Black” or “Deaf”.  Should the blind community ask for the same treatment? Why or why not? What the the advantages and disadvantages of this?
8:45 PM (give or take):  Pledge and   Adjourn
