I don't believe the current access to the "blnd" database has
provisions for ordering, i may be wrong though.  i am trying to
find a federal or state legislature who will assist me on this
issue. to get this B.R.S. service for access, the blind person must
first subscribe to these folks and then the lc, upon recieving your
id # will put you in their system.  BRS merely networks the callers
into the lc's computers.

i feel that tax payers have already paid for this database and now,
the blind have to support brs.  let's get rid of the middle man.
where's nfb and the rest of the groups???
