Of course hiring executives have more than blindness on their minds when they 
interview a blind person.  But if you don't think their images, 
misconceptions, and sterotypes don't enter into hiring decision, then you 
have never sat on either side of the table.  I have sat on both sides, and it 
is more fun on the hiring side.
Magoo has and will influence these executives.  If it "crackpot" to try to 
prevent the reinforcement of sterotypes and misconceptions about blindness, 
then I plead quilty.  But I'm not going to just sit around and whine about it 
or try to agnore it.  I prefer to DO something.  I have posted to the 
alt.disney newsgroup.  So far, I feel very lonely out there.
