I agree with you, Buddy.  While it certainly is not a bad thing to have 
access to sight, one must consider do they want a partner or a man or maid 
servant?  After all, we are asking someone to accept our blindness, 
shouldn't we as blind people ourselves do the same thing for another blind 
person?  Those blind people who want a partner just for sight's sake, or use 
their sighted children for servants, guide dogs Etc. usually end up 
regretting it.  What makes or breaks a relationship to me is, do you love 
that person for what they are, and is that person the one you want to spend 
the rest of your life with in good times and bad?

I am no stranger to that balance of power situation you spoke of.  I was 
briefly engaged to a sighted woman in 1976, but it was clear early on that 
she intended to use her sight to manipulate me which I wouldn't have.  Her 
and her father's attitude basically was, "we don't care if you marry her, 
but we're calling the shots."  You sign your name to a blank piece of paper 
and we'll fill in the details.  No way, not for me.
