Mitch, you wonder why get involved since ACB and NFB are at odds. Answer: For
the sake of the blindness community as a whole.
Noninvolvement in seeking progress is a "no vote" for progressive, or at best
declaring "present" instead of contributing."
There are too many armchair quarterbacks who sit back and gripe only to demand
what everyone else can do for them. There are too many Taft-style isolationists
who simply say every disagrees on issues, so let's not get involved. Thepoint
is, while keeping our different philosophies and stances on blindness, ACB,
NFB, and other organization can and should work together. We live in a state
that has a phobia about folks being inmore than one consumer or advocacy group
for the blind at once. Now, it would be great for the light to go on or the
signal to sound and we do work together, contributing our unique
stances, philosophies, and positions to work for the betterment and
independence of blind and visually impaired folks.

Loads and loads of people are paying taxes when they have no children in
school It isn't a question of having children or not; it is a question of
whether they are in school or not that matters. Very few taxes actually tax
selectively. Excise taxes do, but that is about it. The rest hit just about
everyone.
It is ironic you would mention installing these at every corner. The street
I had trouble crossing had a stop light for Vivion Road, but it rarely
triggered, and when it did, it was of extremely short duration. If you
walked fast, you could get from one side of the two lanes to the other.
Anything slower, and you wouldn't make it. It was my own fault that I got
stuck on that corner. I knew it was going to be sticky, but I misjudged how
difficult and scary that crossing would ultimately be. Even if you could
install these audible crossing signals at every corner, I would be willing
to bet this one would be overlooked.
ACB and NFB at odds! Why doesn't that surprise me? Sound like a good reason
to avoid involving either of them.

Subject: [real-eyes] My thoughts
Someone died last week,there is a driver who will have trouble moving on in
life knowing that the car she drove hit someone and killed him, there is a
grieving family and community and we all have ideas as to how to get and
stay safe. Total safety is a myth but we sure can and should ask for the
best safety methods available to all people in society.
While living in Maryland I was trying to get a APS installed where I lived
and it was delayed by almost a year because the engineers where afraid to
take action. The NFB was asking for one kind of technology and the ACB
wanted something else. I kept saying that anything will be fine but they
were concerned about one group or the other causing problems moving forward.
SHEESH, talk about being united?It seems reasonable to think that there
should be an APS at every intersection that there is a light and there are
sidewalks inviting people to walk. When there is a placid invitation such as
a light and sidewalk, there needs to be safety measures installed.Many
people pay school taxes who have no children. It is for the good of society
as is this!
My heart goes out to Chip's family and that poor driver. We should reach out
to that driver who would likely now agree that something needs to be done to
insure that no one of her family members or friends ends up having hit
someone and having to learn to live with that kind of sorrow on your soul.
