Yeah, but the problem is we are not after flies, we're after jobs, equal 
access Etc.  And unfortunately sometimes that doesn't come without a fight.

And while it might be better if all the blind were united, that's not going 
to happen in any group.  We spent years fighting the oppression of the very 
rehab agencies that were supposed to be helping us who didn't want to give 
up their power over us, and I think it was because they knew we were right 
and were very afraid of that.  I still think we have a long way to go, 
because the very leaders who claimed to be leading our fight for equality 
themselves became the oppressors, but the point is that those agency jerks 
didn't nicely give up that control they had over us.
