Terran, the National Federation of the blind happens to believ (and so do I) 
that when sighted people put on a blindfold for a short time, they don't 
really knoow what blindness is, only that they get to see the fear and 
helplessness of what being temporarily blind can be.  I'd be interested in 
knowing what you, as a sighted student, might feel or think about this?
