look guys, if these peop;le want to pull the wool over your eyes, they are 
going to do it.  you see this is what i'm talking about.  we cry law suit every 
time.  people have stopped listening, because we have cryed wolf so many times. 
 discrimination has become harder to prove, and the agencies who are suposed to 
protect our rights have stopped doi ng so.  my word of cossen, isthat blind 
people need to stop thinking in this ninteen sixties mindset that has long been 
done away with.  these people are smaryter then that.
that is why i am asking blind people to wake up and see what is really goi ng 
on around them.  because we can make a change if we relize our situation right 
now.  if we don't then we only move ferther in the muck.    On Sun, 31 Jan 2010
