[blindlaw] Question About Rental Discrimination

[Mark BurningHawk]

Hi, Brian.  It seems to me that ignorance doesn't account for the  
irrationality and fervor with which people who can see react to those  
who cannot.  It's more like a fear/panic/defensive aggressive  
approach.  I have a theory that the lack of eye contact engages a  
response as old as the limbic system of the brain--fear the stranger  
who does not look at you, for he may be ill or insane or a threat.   
The blind are perceived as a threat, however nebulously.  As CJ  
Cherryh said, "Ignorance killed the cat; curiosity got framed."
