The biggest way in which the sighted have power over the blind is just that; they teach the blind to pity themselves, to be dependent on the sighted and not upon themselves. Thank you for the kind words, by the way; I only hope I can earn them. :) I fall far short of my ideals in this respect, and am not too proud to admit it. I don't really like *ANY* organization, I'm sort of an anarchist and quite apolitical-- some might even say asocial--because I've never found an organization or group I could trust not to try and make my mind up for me or decide how I should be. This applies all across the board. I don't like blind people in groups much for just the reasons you cite. When I catch myself whining, I briskly slap myself and get on with life, because the quickest way we lose our power is by appearing pitiable. I am a firm advocate of solutions through superior strength (but not peace through superior firepower :) ), and that's how I try to practice. Some day, I hope to be strong enough to solve all my problems myself without the need to go at someone else's pace or kiss someone's ass or play anyone's games buy my own. Wish me luck getting there. :)
