> Good Morning,

> monoculars and other devices.

> that you should not be able to drive too. You can't have the best of both
> worlds, you are either blind or sighted. Yes, there are many blind people
> with some vision, but I think it's wrong to have both a guide dog and a
> driver's license. I don't think it's fair to use both.
> What do you all think? Am I over-reacting? Do you know other guide dog
