It was safer that way. Besides, most people didn't want to tangle with my Shepherd guide. Although a good guide, she was one of the most unfriendly looking dogs I have ever seen, and most sighted people agreed. Besides, I wasn't thinking real clearly. Being so shy and really embarrassed at that point, I just wanted to get out of there. But do sighted people have the right to ask me these questions? Does anyone have the right? Why am I less a person, subject to very personal questions, just because I am blind? -> MegaMail v2.01 #0:Green, blue, brown or bronze; I'm not choosy! -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!105!605!Nancy.Feldman Internet: Nancy.Feldman@f605.n105.z1.fidonet.org
