I would be interested in knowing if it matters whether ACB or NFB or, for that matter, members of any group should be deliberately specified in this manner? Does it somehow negate or explain away the reason people are offended or hurt? What is the relevance of such a remark? Maybe once we can get beyond this infantile rivalry, our education of the general public can commence at a much greater level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Poor is the person | Christine Faltz | | whose permission | 33 Prospect Ave. | | depends upon the | Princeton, NJ 08540 | | perceptions of others. | "Who is John Galt?" | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
