[stylist] Thought Provoker About Love

Sun Feb 15 15:09:12 UTC 2009

Blindness is a physical condition, not a culture.  Blind people have their 
own religion, ethnic culture and family customs.  Like all people 
everywhere, they have their own way of doing things.  The success of blind 
people is that in spite of their physical handicap, they emerge as 
individuals who act, think and believe just like millions of people in 
society at large.  Judith
