[nfb-talk] The Vanda ads

[Todor Fassl]

Here's an idea ... Lets never talk about non-24. It makes us look bad. 
This drug might help thousands of blind people actually stay awake on 
the job but we don't want to look bad so lets just keep this whole 
non-24 thing a secret. Okay?

If you don't mention it, I won't.

Here we are, trying to persuade legislators that we deserve to be paid fair wages because we can perform at an equal leve; withthe non-disabledbe and this ad -es on and gives the impression that the totally blind can't get through the day ′or the night′ without popping a pill. It doesn't just counteract our messagebe it may have the unintended effect of giving the impression that we totally blind people are inferior in our ability !function in the world; and goodness knows, there's already enough prejudice on that subject. Without some kind of correction, whatever good this drug is intended !d will be canceled out by the harmful publicity.          Beth Wright
