Hi all,

I learned about a situation that just happened and I thought I would
tell all of you about it and see how people would react.

A blind person I know tried to take a charter bus this past week and was
told by the driver that the company rules did not permit her to ride
with a dog guide.  Most of the people who were on this bus stated that
they did not want to sit with her because of the dog.  Then about twenty
minutes later they did find someone who would sit with her but by that
time she was very upset and decided not to take the trip.

Okay, here is the problem, should she have stayed on the bus for the 27
hours with people who did not want her or should she have saidd alright
and stayed home?

The punch line is that this was a group of blind people.
