Aaron,
I will agree to disagree with you. Some disabled people do think they are
entitled to special treatment beyond their basics necessities; this is where
our philosophy's go into different directions. I have earned a degree in
criminal justice with a concentration in homeland security and I'm pleased
to see that a fellow blind friend is aiming to improve his life, I sincerely
wish you the best.
No matter what we need or want we do require some type of "special
treatment" or "reasonable accommodation" to accomplish what sighted
individuals can do. We can't sit here and judge what is appropriate for a
particular person or group of people without first experiencing their life's
daily routine or past history living with their specific disability.

George,
Yes I have sought employment, I'm employed at Fedora Outlier. I'm in
college getting a degree so I can get a better job. Call it special
treatment or reasonable accommodations it doesn't matter when you think your
entitled to something just because your blind it doesn't matter what you
call it.

Greetings Everyone,
Aaron has a point in the ideology of some blind people. However, I would
like to ask Aaron if he has ever sought employment. I know of individuals,
like myself, that have an extensive employment history and are unemployed.
Special treatment or as I like to call it reasonable accommodations, are put
in place for us to be on a level playing field as our sighted counterparts.
When I worked for the government I asked for "special treatment" just so I
can do my essential work duties. When society gives us equal opportunities
in employment, or housing, or just in society, blind people attitudes should
hopefully change. Granted, just because I have a disability I can't expect
for people or agencies to put things in my hand; I have to earn what I get.
