[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

It seems you're being inconsistent. You object to blind people getting
reduced or free subway fares. Why don't you object to the "free mailing"
privilege which blind people can use for normal mail as well as Braille
or tapes? Neither do you object to the National Library service program
which gives blind people free reading material and recrd or tape
players. What about Supplemental security income? The Nfb has not fought
against that? They have fought to keep it and increase it. If you want
to talk about sighted people getting a bad image of blind people who
ride subways for free then what kind of image do they get from blind
people who are on Supplemental security income with no incentive to get
off the system?
