[nfb-talk] {Disarmed} FW: A personal reportfrom ChairmanGordon Gund

No one is angry about others getting sight back.  However, many are 
angry about charities using negative stereotypes to leverage more money 
for the research.  The end does not justify the means, especially when 
the means take blind people backwards so fiercely.

And about that research.  Exactly what is all the fear and pity 
mongering buying?  Seems to me that miles are promised, but only inches 
are gained.  Perhaps it's not about the research, but rather more about 
the money.
