HI Dan,
You are forgetting how wonderful that old lady feels giving that poor young
blind person a seat and thats why I feel it is myduty  as a represenative of
the blind community to take the seat so people around me will realize
that blindpeople  can be as thoughtless as sighted people and that will cause
them to treat me the same way they treat every one else. tomg. G
