You were correct.  I did not understand how you ment for the
blind fold was used.  I have never seen an exhibit where you
just put on a blind fold or sat in a wheel chairjust to see what
it was like.  I agree with you, doing that wouldn't do much for
either the disabled or the typical person.  Our exhibit tried
not only to show the monumental problems faced by physical
barriers, but tried to show the barriers created by uninformed
attitudes.  To a degree, our program did some good, however
nothing is quite like the real thing.
