Greg, I think that your wrong when you say that most blind people  who
put NFB down do not know the organization.  I believe that most blind
people know nfb and acb and I am meeting more and more blind people who
are turned off by both organizations, not because of the philosophy but
because of the leadership and political nature of both. tom G
