This action by the NFB is living proof that there is a
sizable body of the population that does not have enough to do.

        When ordinary kids don't have enough to do, they get in
to mischief and cause trouble for others.  Usually, it is a
matter for the police to deal with and a simple public nuisance.
After the trash gets picked up, the graphety gets painted over or
the loud music is turned down, society gets back to normal.

        When lawyers who happen to be blind don't have enough to
do, they make mischief, also.  The problem is that instead of
spray paint or loud stereos, they play with the kind of social
power tools that drill holes in all our lives.

        You know in your hearts that this is not being done for
any good reason at all except somebody else's ego trip plus maybe
a few Bucks under the table, who knows.

        There should probably be intelligent discussion about
just how much it costs to provide descriptive video and Closed
Captions which also require on-going human labor, but to
challenge the law in the way it was done throws the baby out with
the bath water and furthermore, may outlaw the bathing of babies
for years to come.

        Just when I wonder if I am possibly loosing my mind, I
run across a story like this and realize what the true symptoms
of utter insanity coupled with a good measure of megalomania are.

        In a free and litigious country such as ours, any idiot
can sue anybody.  Whether the suit has merit, is for the legal
system to decide, but that doesn't mean that a tremendous amount
of time and money aren't wasted in the process.  That is what
bothers me most of all.

        We've got better things to fight about such as open and
affordable access to electronic information which includes the
ability to conduct business and or get an education without a lot
of extra expense, etc.  Where are these clowns when it is an
issue that really does change what it means to be blind?

        I know where they are.  They are off prostituting
themselves on this idiotic lawsuit.
