[Reader-users] the phone and knfb reader

[Mike Freeman]

Sir:

Why should we even gialogue with you as your mind is made up?

Put another way, do purchasers of new cars get compensated for their 
previous years' purchases? Obviously, the answer is no. So are you 
saying that we, the blind, should be treated differently? How can we ask 
for equal treatment in society except when such equal treatment puts us 
at a disadvantage when compared to being treated specially?

As Robert Heinline put it: THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!

Mike
