[blindlaw] I'm Confused - RE: Canes and Blindness along withthechanging color of the cane

[Mark BurningHawk]

Steve, that's a very inaccurate comparison.
First, the traffic light does not advertise to those around it that it  
needs help.  Traffic lights are designed to tell people what to do.   
The white of a white cane is designed to signal to all that a blind  
person is around.  A traffic light signals stop and go; a white cane  
signals "look out, I'm here!" some people don't want to tell everyone  
they're there.

Yes, I know the meaning of uniformity, and I understand it has its  
place; in this case, I reject it, which is my decision.  If it's  
uniformity you want, I suggest you move to a country that does not  
promote individualism and oppresses its members.
