I'll keep that link for the next time someone tells me good grammar isn't that important.     

Without proper punctuation and capitalization, the phrase "I helped my uncle, Jack, off his horse." takes on an entirely new meaning.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

Being blind doesn't make him a saint. If he was whacking people with his cane he deserved to be punished. If not then why did they take it away?

exactly,  I have been around more blind people then you can shake a stick at( pun intended)  I would say they have a slightly more ass hole to good person raito then the rest of the population. while many are great people and a joy to be around, there are many that are the worst kind of people I have ever met.  they play the blind card a lot and in very scummy ways.

more like pore out boxes of 16 penny nails.  4 out of the 5 worst people I have met are blind  and 2 of the 5 best people.   I would say its about 1 in 5 is a good person.     which is about half as many of the average public.  its really sad actually.

I learned something when I was a teenager coming home a bit late when the house was asleep.

My room was at the end of an L shaped uncarpeted  hallway.  My sisters room then  my parents room at the elbow, and my room and the bathroom at the end.

What I found out was that I sub-consciously knew which doors were open in that dark hallway with my first few steps into it.  I realized I knew when I noticed I would slow and walk softlier as I approached my parents room when the door was open and not when it was closed.  I also "knew" to reach for the bathroom door nob when the door was closed but not when it was open.

Didn't know I knew that stuff till I noticed I was acting on that information.

I'd bet blind folks can tell the "sounds" in a room are different if stuff has been moved around.

I think part of their tapping with the cane is to create echos for navigation.

No...wasn't saying super hearing, just that the information from hearing is us used by the blind more readily.

My hearing isn't super..but I had that information when I had a need for it.
