| Blind law listers:
| 
| I just ran across a family law CLE agenda for my local county bar
| association that contains t following agenda topic:
| 
| 2:15     I'd Rather Go Blind Than See You Walk Away From Me:  Stories
| from the Relocation Trenches
| 
| Panel discussion of recent problems in interpretation and enforcement of
| the Relocation Act
| 
| Before I knee jerk react against this language, I'd like to hear what
| you all think about the agenda item title stating that the presenters
| would rather go blind than have a custodial parent relocate.  Perhaps it
| can be construed as a positive statement about being blind.  What do you
| think?
|
