You can view an archive of list messages yourself; there's no need for 
anyone to forward past messages to you. Go to the page 
http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbwatlk_nfbnet.org and click on 
the "archive" link. On the archive page, you can have messages sorted 
any number of ways. But you can view all of the messages in a given 
thread. Enjoy.

By the way, insofar as I am aware, no one told you not to discuss the 
movie on the list. One should not sling around words such as 
"censorship" without being sure of what one speaks. The only thing I 
remember was that several people opined that the subject was rather 
old-hat and had been talked to death at the time of our movie 
demonstrations earlier this year.

Have at it!

I did not see a couple of the comments concerning my posting on the 
movie
blindness from 4-30-09; from CT and Kris. Can you forward them to me?

I am wishing to post my thoughts about this movie for those of us who 
have
not read the book or saw the movie. I think it would be a good learning
exercise  and may serve to remind all of us myself included about what 
role
each of us  plays in society. Are we reenforcing the myths or labeling? 
Are we
ourselves  perhaps being closed minded concerning blindness?

I was told not to discuss this movie on the list. I don't think that
censoring any member for posting their observations on the list 
concerning this
issue is being very fair or just. We have to deal with this issue every 
day.
I  will suggest on the other hand that if we do have a discussion about 
the
movie  (once I post my observations on the list); that if needed we can
have  discussions about it starting on the list than off the list.

I think viewing the movie is a great educational tool. It may point out 
mis
 conceptions or hidden fears. Who knows. I hope when I complete the 
project
and  post my observations that everyone will look at them with an open
mind.

Warmly:
