	Realistically, do you think something is wrong with MR. Magoo? 
Think about it.  MR. Magoo is a *fictional* charactar!  I could understand
if you were upset at him being portrayed as a blind beggar, but his actions
does not provoke negative thoughts about the blind.  
	Here's an issue I would support.  At the beginning of TV shows,
their's a rating system TV producers use.  Can we as blind people actively
use them?  No!  Because they are not accessible!  If you want to take action
with that, go for it.  You will have more support with this one than a
cartoon charactar!  This issue is more realistic!
