[blindlaw] On Topic

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Agreed, I think that the discussion of the law relevant to the color of 
one's cane has been exhausted.  The rest, although an interesting 
philosophical discussion, is not germane to this list.  It may be an 
interesting topic for some of our other discussion lists and I am sure a 
whole bunch of folks would be happy to engage in that philosophical debate. 
As the last point on this topic, I should mention that our founder, Dr. 
tenBroek, did a great deal of work in the 40's, 50's, and 60's to get "white 
cane" statutes adopted so that the cane and dog  were recognized as mobility 
tools for the blind.  Additionally, those statutes were designed to extend 
civil rights protections to our population as well.  In fact, Dr. tenBroek 
attempted to get disability protection into the  landmark Civil Rights Act 
of 1964.  I wish I could have met Dr. tenBroek because he truly was a man 
way ahead of his time.  His teachings and legal arguments are still the 
foundation of our legal advocacy today.  Again, I thank everyone for  the 
interesting discussion and now it's time to move onto new topics. 
Additionally, I wish all of you a terrific  holiday weekend!
