Hi Shawn,
I couldn't agree with you more in your ccomments regarding the NFB's
reaction to Mr. Magoo cartoons.
If, as the NFB suggested through its participation in the recent
meeting of the World Blind Union,held in my country last year, the
organization is truly interested in "cChanging What it Means to be Blind,"
it's time for a reality check. Those cartoons represent highly exagerated
behaviour. Theyt were very popular when Iwas a child, but I don't ever
recall them having a detrimental effect on me as a blind person. I think
almost forty-five years of experience gives me at least some right to make
such a claim.
If the NFB really has an interest in working with blind people in other
countries, that sure isn't the way to do it.
... I only counted 100 dalmatians...!!!
