well if we are able to hold jobs that sighted people also do, and improve
our immmage in that way shouldn't more money be spent to better insure that.
fighting a movie is just sillly. for one thing its a movie, fictional.
its not a direct insult on one peerson. if you choose to see that it is on a
group of people then that shows how weak of a person you are.
so you would rather blaime the hole wolrd cause you can't have a little 
umor.
