ok, I've read about enough of this.
I'm only going to make one comment on this then going back to work.

I went through college during the 1980s, toating a cassett recorder, and a 
portable typewriter much of the time.  During my college carreer I nearly 
wrecked my GPA fighting to get our first accessible computer lab created.
Between some government grant money, SSI, and a whole lot of hard work, I 
got through, and obtained employment at the university from which I 
graduated. I've been there now as a programmer, helpdesk rat, and whatever 
else they have needed for 20 years.

During this time I have also known a number of "handicapped" individuals, 
both visually and physically, who sit around, complain, and collect their 
government checks.  Frankly, I have come to the conclusion that if the 
majority of the unemployed blind would work as hard as they complain, many 
of them could be productively employed.

I understand that there are special circumstances for some, but this 70% 
blind unemployment figure touted by the NFB is uncalled for.

Sorry, just had to vent a little.  I just got asked if I knew anyone who 
would give away an ht for a blind ham who I know doesn't work, and hasn't 
worked because he was too lazy to finish high school.  It just iritated me.
