Yes Tom, U R correct. People, U should remember that like it or not, in a small minority group such blind persons, the actions of one can have a greater impact on the rest. Just as Colin Powell is considered by many in the press and general public to represent African Americans, his actions, speeches and the way he conducts himself are all scrutinized and viewed as representing that group. It doesn't matter if he wants it that way or not, it just is. That's the point I was trying to make. I do not hold ACB responsible however.

George,
I surely do not promote anybody putting him out of business.
but just as he has a rite to do that business, so do I have the rite to
object in free speech to what he is doing if I believe it does me harm which
I certainly do believe.

The rite of free speech does not end with the rite of someone else to make
a living.

Probably enough from me on this subject.
