[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

The thing that really buggs me is the sighted person who goes on and
 on about how great it is that you have a job (you poor little blind
 guy) and how wonderful it is.  Then in the next breath this same guy
 says go away, I can't help you improve yourself I just don't see how
 you can do a job like this!  
 
Blind people are just so amazing, but don't you dare talk to one or
 hlep one or you'll go blind.  That's how I feel.
 
You bet most blind and visually impaired people want to earn their
 way, but we deserve respect and opportunity just like the next guy.
 
I still say ADA is a good step forward but don't look for this law to
 really help on a wide scale basis.  Some may say I'm sour, but not
 really, I'm just telling it like it is.
 
Now where's my cane, sure wouldn't want to bump a chair or anything.
 Being the delicate person I am, it might hurt! OOOOOOOH
 
With tounge in cheek......
