[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

If there is a reason why you need a wheelchair, why is it necessary for
you to explain why just because you are blind.  One time I had to return
from New York because I became very ill.  I just wasn't strong enough to
make the long walk from one area of the airport to the other so I asked
for a wheel chair.  They got one for me but only after they explained
that most blind people didn't like it when they suggested it.  I really
didn't appreciate having to explain to the aggent why I needed it.  I
really felt that the fact that I asked was enough.  Oh well.  You can
win 'em all.
