Or the Amish for that matter.
But if I did this would be the perfect spot to talk about it as neither group would ever know, right.
The blind do however raise a few concerns for me. As a person with full visual capabilities I rarely (Okay, I Never) give any thought to what it would be like to live without sight.
I am consoled by the fact that most people do not give it any thought whatsoever either.
Infact the blind have many maore friends and supporters than they may even realize. People who obviously believe that the blind can do
Anything that a person with vision can do.
Take for example the ability to drive. A person with proper vision takes this for granted and drives around all day on their merry little way. Sure a blind person may be physically capable of operating a vehicle, but they can't see where there going right?
So does this mean they should be allowed to drive?
I say NO! Emphatically NO!
If you can't see then don't drive, sounds simple. Would you drive around with your eyes closed, or blindfolded? No, (Well probably no).
But our world shows that there may infact be people who believe that the blind are out their driving around and performing thier daily activities in a car!!!!
How do I know this you may ask?
Simple I've seen proof. And so have you, you just might not have "seen" what you were looking at.
Next time you are going through a drive thru bank, take a second and analyze the keypad. Do you see it? Yep, its right there. Braille. Yep, look again, It's really there.
The only plausable reason for including Braille on a drive through ATM is that the bank feels that its customers need this service. This service is obviously included for all of the banks blind drive thru customers.
This realization that many drivers are legally blind certainly helps to explain some of the things that I have seen other drivers do. It's all starting to make sense now.
Leave a comment and let eveyone know if you think that Blind people should be allowed to continue driving themselves around?
