[Nfb-seniors] Nfb-seniors Digest, Vol 2, Issue 7

With all due respect, just because one disability gets subsidies doesn't 
mean that another ought to also. Moreover, for every special privilege 
we accept, we pay in lost opportunities and lessened expectations and 
this goes for senior citiznes also.

To put this in perspective, some blind persons have problems with 
transportation. Does this mean that I should be provided with a Lincoln 
Towncar stretch limo and chauffeur? I suspect the answer from almost 
everyone will be a resounding NO.

  Hello David, George and Judy! vow, I am exhausted just looking for 
your
  messages. Why must our Senior Site be so messed up with endless 
repetitions
  and lines? Let us use the KISS method, Keep It Simple Sweethearts! 
Let's beg
  our Webmaster to clean up our act. I feel that a strong organization 
like
  the NFB must help us advocate for free high speed Internet access. If 
you
  are older, it is hard to learn Braille and we can hear what is written 
with
  Zoom text. Only a tiny Minority uses Braille. Zoom Text enlarges and
  talks!!! Most Deaf Seniors can see what we write. Only a tiny minority 
uses
  ASL since the majority of seniors do not need to learn , so let's 
cross
  communicate with computers. The FCC subsidizes Video Relay Services 
for the
  MINORITY at nearly $7.- per minute! Let our Leaders advocate for FREE 
HIGH
  SPEED INTERNET ACCESS FOR ALL CERTIFIED DEAF AND BLIND!!!! don't LET 
THEM
  SAY, THAT IS NOT OUR JOB!  Ouch! As usual I stepped on so many toes 
again,
  so let me apologize with the Love of Aloha!
  Heinz-Guenther Pink

With all due respect, just because one disability gets subsidies doesn't mean that another ought to also. Moreover, for every special privilege we accept, we pay in lost opportunities and lessened expectations and this goes for senior citiznes also.
 
To put this in perspective, some blind persons have problems with transportation. Does this mean that I should be provided with a Lincoln Towncar stretch limo and chauffeur? I suspect the answer from almost everyone will be a resounding NO.

Re: [Nfb-seniors] Nfb-seniors Digest, Vol 2, Issue 7
Hello David, George and Judy! vow, I am exhausted just looking for your
messages. Why must our Senior Site be so messed up with endless repetitions
and lines? Let us use the KISS method, Keep It Simple Sweethearts! Let's beg
our Webmaster to clean up our act. I feel that a strong organization like
the NFB must help us advocate for free high speed Internet access. If you
are older, it is hard to learn Braille and we can hear what is written with
Zoom text. Only a tiny Minority uses Braille. Zoom Text enlarges and
talks!!! Most Deaf Seniors can see what we write. Only a tiny minority uses
ASL since the majority of seniors do not need to learn , so let's cross
communicate with computers. The FCC subsidizes Video Relay Services for the
MINORITY at nearly $7.- per minute! Let our Leaders advocate for FREE HIGH
SPEED INTERNET ACCESS FOR ALL CERTIFIED DEAF AND BLIND!!!! don't LET THEM
SAY, THAT IS NOT OUR JOB!  Ouch! As usual I stepped on so many toes again,
so let me apologize with the Love of Aloha!
