Hi PHil:

     Your comments about guide dogs and blind people's aattitudes 
was well written.  Thanks.  Anyway, I have met the same sort of ratio 
you mentioned about "the good people" and the "bad people,".  I just 
am a sort of nasty person who doesn't like to put up with a jerk no 
matter if they have a cane, dog, or a guide pig!  I think dog users 
who are considerate to the people they are around are easy to deal 
with, and those who aren't are a huge pain.  Its the same with a cane 
user, some cane users wap people and all sorts of stupid behavior 
with their canes, I wap them back, and I probablly will tell a bad 
dog user to take the problem elsewhere!  I hate blind people who make 
poor images!  "thats a good one blind people making bad images!"  
Anyway, sorr about the disjointed irrational nature of this rambling-

-I'm nearly finished.  Maybe a simple policy of "we don't like people 
who are a pain in the butt for no reason." would work?

     Some cane users are a pain because they slap the cane around-
-because they have minimal training, how about a "cane" license!  

Boy wouldn't that get some hackles up!  ha ha ha.
Okay, I'm done now.
