Well, Stew, I don't think that people who join organizations of the
blind have no other social outlets.  I have enough social outlets,
and I belong to the ACB.  I don't think that social outlets have
anything to do with it.

I have to disaggree with you there.  You cannot sway any law making
body by yourself.  It takes numbers to make congress or

Now, there I agree with you.  I would not belong to an organization

btw Stew, I asked you this before, and either you forgot to answer,

who has retired from there.  His name is Wilbert Tyler.
