[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

dan, You asked Tom G. if any Blinks had advanced to a particular position 
with Social Security.  What difference does it make?  Blinks havn't held 
thousands of jobs, that doesn't mean they can't.  shoot man, if there is 
a job that you want, and you feel you could handle that kind of work, 
then go for it.  If anybody grabs you and holds you back, you call me. 
falcon and I will jump on the first plane, we'll find that guy and beat 
the living daylights out of him.  don't wait on a job made for blinks! 
That is repugnant!  Hundreds of disabled people have fought long and hard 
so that you can go out and find a job that best suits your needs.  If 
working for S.S.A. is your life dream, then great, but if you are only 
interested because other blinks are doing it, well then, that is a cop 
out.  Dan, you don't have to look very far to find success stories about 
Blinks going out there and making something of themselves.  Have 
confidence in yourself.
