I agree with you that Mrs. Wilson can't stop our Social Security
checks or get us fired from our jobs or anything like that, but
they can and do stop us from getting anywhere in the organization
if we make our dissenting views known.  This is one thing that
has always bothered me.  Sure our leadership claims to allow
dissension and criticism, but just see how far you get if you
make those views too widely known within the organization.  the
federation does a lot of good and I support that, but the
internal politics of the N.F.B. is turning people off and I
think our national leadership is going to have to learn to
gracefully accept criticism in the spirit it is intended.
On the other hand, it seems that as long as someone warbles the
national song loud enough they can otherwise get by with any kind
of behavior they choose.
I think for example that May Nelson is the worst excuse for a
director of rehab that I know of.  But she keeps the La. Center
happy and that keeps the leaders in La. happy.  The center has
become a political thing as much as it is a program for blind
people, but in a negative sense; not in the positive sense that
Dr. Jernigan and the Iowa Commission for the Blind was in the
60's and 70's.
