Andrea:
Isn't this the truth? Once a dictator takes office, he tries remaining in
his current post until the end of time, without giving anyone else an equal
chance at leading a particular group of individuals.
Oh well, I guess the NFB Members love Mr. M enough to let him continue to
rule.

Hey, why is Mark M still the president of that crazy organization? I've
often wondered why they never elect anyone else to reign as pres. After so
many years at a time. Ever since I've known of the NFB that guy has somehow
been in power. Talk about a dictatorship.

That is very simple to answer. The reason they aren't offering folding
canes is because they are the nfb. They believe that if you use a folding
cane that you are trying to hide your disability. The straight cane is the
only approved cane by the nfb. Its best described by understanding the borg
from Star Trek. There is no individual member of the borg. It is a
collective. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
