there we go again... why is it that i can always tell who is
aspousing nfb  docterine... that is, second guessing what the
sighted are going to think... blindness is expensive.  if i have to
supplement my travel with taxis and instead of buying a bic pen, i
have to go out and spend $450 on a brailler and then hire a reader
at $5 per hour to read my mail and label  my food cans, why not
reduce my bus fair?  well, since your second guessing what sighted
folks think about this issue (who conducted the sighted
survey?)i'll do the same in a positive manner.  i figure the
reduced bus fair is predicated on the understanding that i incurr
all these expensesand thus, live in an aware, enlightened
society... well, maybe i am carrying it a little far what you get
my point... dan, too vain  to be blind
