[nfbwatlk] FW: [Wcb-l] FW: [AERNet] New Laser Cane/Stick (ugg)

[Jedi]

Well, the good news is that these young ladies will get an opportunity 
to participate in an event that is likely to challenge them 
intellectually. It's just too bad that their cane doesn't detect 
negative attitudes as these attitudes are more problematic than any 
hole in the ground.

Respectfully,
Jedi
