[nfb-talk] Cash

[David Andrews]

John:

I am not quite sure what else to say.  I believe there could be 
adverse negative consequences for blind people if we make a big 
expensive change to paper money.  I also acknowledge that I could be wrong.

Some of this is a difference of style style with substance 
underneath.  What we ask for, and how we ask for it are fundamental 
decisions that each blind person, and organization must make.  All of 
us will never agree.
