Not only is the Monitor filled with gossip and stories about people who
appear to be helpless, the worst part is it makes the rest of us appear
just like them.  I get sick and tired of having to say "I don't associate
with them or believe in their philosiphies" whenever anyone asks if I am
a member of NFB.  I am, of course, VERY VERY Proud to say I am an ACB
member.

I have a very good friend who went to an NFB school in Minneapolis.  He
went there with the idea of getting some good training in Mobility,
computers, ETC.  He told me, "this place is like being in a prison."
Yes, that is an exact quote, like it or not NFb'ers.  I almost got sick
hearing some of the things he told me.  It was a shock.

Anyway, I don't care what organizational preference you have, but just to
let you and anyone else reading this know, the NFB doesn't represent all
Blind people, and they better stop pretending they do.  ARe you as fed up
with them as I am, well, come on and join the ACB.  We welcome you with
open arms!
