thanks for that .....i will take care to use spell and grammar check so i can be understood better ( i am assuming you will use a page reader or such bane ) .i will make an effort to be understood with my reply Darth .

Unsheepled,


Thanks for being considerate towards my disability. Actually if only more people were out there that gave a damn this world could perhaps be worth living in for the entire human kind not just one person(s) marrow mold. Look for example on the web browsers Safari, I.E, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and others that vide over one another and neglect w3.org standards on HTML/CSS and other standards set out? The blind also play catchup with other programs 10-20 times slower to catchup than your sighted person. Why is there a limition of this? There is a need just not the financial strength in any government to care. Actually did you know that in America foreign born disabled people get more jobs than disabled americans? This according to Disabled World and that is just how sad it is here. Actually we don't have accessible currency for the blind either unlike other developed countries. Actually the only two things that America has don't help the citizens much like the wide GDP GINI and the high military force and others with no universal health care model, high infant mortality, high obesity, high imprisonment rate, high level of war mongering or tampering, invasion of civil rights (Patriot Act), rewriting of trade agreements, and etc? Is it no wonder why we are not loved in the world? Yet, people fawn over us like we are freakin idols and I can't understand why?
I wish that I was born on another planet where people won't bicker over small insignificant bs like let's say grammar, spelling, newest physical possession(s), intellect, or whatever. I think the human race is limited in power control in a world of limited resources with little means of allocating them affectively correctly where needs are met not an excessive want capacity to equal balance it out. For example, universal health care in the world would cost what? It would bankrupt the world right? We already brankrupt morally anyways.

I hope this can alleviate the feeling of being alone Darth …..there are many alone in the dark in this life .
　
Darth ,I truly feel all that you relay .The thing about realities is that all but one is a fake ,there is only ONE reality and that is the one with the consequential effects of decay which result in death .Death is a gift to the debilitated reality ………and you my friend are in the same reality that every living thing in universe is bound with .
David Icke and all the other sellers of manipulation are talking ,realities , because of the following .
It was agreed upon long ago that some people just do not have what it takes to create an existence (careful not to confuse reality with existence ) .Due to this feeling of some people not having what it takes to evolve ideas of being to keep with the fashion or pace of direction that it is decided that we ,humans ,should be steered towards schools were created ( and don’t forget I am talking long long ago ) .
Schools were so popular for to get the masses to be directed that ,whoever it is they are …..decided that it wasn’t the none thinkers that were holding plans back ,but the thinkers within the masses .They thought wouldn’t it be simpler if everyone just accepted our direction and the existence we decided for everyone .
The system we have nowadays is a one where a hand picked selection are recruited for an existence of success ( and often nothing to do with ability to succeed in problem solving .just being a family member or a member of a club can decide your select ability ) .All others are pummelled into submission to accept existences other than the one they deserve or have ability to sustain through a functioning intellect and/or insightful mind .You are no different in your blindness to billions of other who the truth is withheld from and which keeps them in a darkened state ………….it isn’t the best way for control ,but it is the easiest way to prop up a false system said to be fuelled by worth or merits.
You will hear all kinds of dilution of the original and only reality of decay until death like altered reality /perception reality /created realities and so on and so on .These things are not realties as there is only one reality …….these are nothing more than dreams and trumped up existences that it has been agreed that people should live their lives within .Dreams are much more manageable than the one and only reality ,so they would have you believe in words that they attach the symbol of decay and death to, reality , for to say we can be anything that are minds are set on .In my younger days it was common for children to run around and say ….I want to be the Queen when I grow up ……….Princess Diana herself was purported by the media to symbolize that you can be anyone in this life and rise to greatness bound by your own merit. I am going to go to the moon on a rocket …….I am going to be a brain surgeon and so on and so on .
The reality of this is that it is just not true .
For most if unselected for success you will be pummelled back into your designated existence and told that’s reality for you .You will be hammered back down like a nail in a coffin who raises its head at the mere suggestion of escaping what it has been decided for you to be .It is true that occasionally with the ingredients of an unusually persistent soul and an unusually sympathetic soul that pity will be manifest and an example of someone making it will be used to keep everybody else preoccupied with the same striving for experience that I think it is that makes thinkers so determined to escape their prison with no bars .
But you are right to say it is not a just system ……….but I was always told that “ nobody said it was a fair fight ,its just the rhythm of life “.
Peoples minds are being played with in respect to this illusion of realities …….they are existences and are such that can be changed ,and are changed ……….but not usually by the soul who lives the life .
Reality is one being and it doesn’t matter how they mess around with the terminology to keep the likes of me and others ,you included it would seem ,in the dark ………they will succumb to the same reality that you and I will embrace when our time comes ………….and that is the processes of decay which will result in death in all cases ……..even the privileged who mess with words to convince themselves that with their privileges bestowed upon them ,they can alter reality and add a bit on the end that will some how change realities processes .
The sad thing is that they often do not acknowledge or even seem to care for those who truly seek to learn .

Darth - what percentage of Americans are blind?

Things are the same in this country. Because it is a small percentage of people (if you discount the 3 million or so claiming Disability Living Allowance), making changes to services for this small number is expensive and therefore not done if they can get away with it. It is a sad reflection that legislation has to be brought in to force changes through, but it all comes down to money, money, money.

And that my fellows is the biggest illusion of them all .........it isnt money that prevents success mostly .......it is because your success would signal a change of being ( as i do not doubt that you would do Darth ....me an all ) .Heaven forbid you would initiate change .Quick change his existance before he would change ours they will say .We are quite happy the way things are they will agree upon .

Ah ,i was thinking that you were implying that sound banking was the reason for not making cirtain things happen .I think sound banking has seen its day and math is not the resoning behind its distribution .Money is an issuing factor these days more than any other .......and not a logical process of calculation where the answere to equasions are nessaserily adhered to .

It may sound as if i am against these notions of existance within reality but i am not against novel ideas .Its just that when a novel idea gets past beyond the abode of its creation ,it becomes corrupted in its excecution or deliverance .I would like to think that the corrution is a symptom of a just man in his/hers interpretation ..............but i have to say it hasnt been my experiance and the novel idea usually gets purposfully altered to fit how things already are .Just look at what has been made of the word reality ...........where it doesnt fit ,they add all mannor of things and meanings to alter its original .Its out and out trickery .

My appolgies Anglman ......i picked up the wrong end of what you said

On the contrary, Angel man I think that the adaptations for the blind are better for society as a whole. Let's look at e-text online for a public library in conjunction with copyrights of publishers. YOu could access your favorite books on your electronic devices like we can. It allows universal design and in general you could get rid of all physical library constructs in your nation. Secondly, the currency is all the same except the coins on the rigid edges of the dime and quarters and the copper circular pennies and all. The dollars all the same and only an initial investment. Thirdly, the talking street signs could prevent many deaths by pedesterians regardless of visual impairment because thye don't listen to anything else perhaps a talking alarm could alert them to where the traffic is flowing. Fourthly, the braille could be manually omited with only braille displays and the technology in supply and demand offset by moree purchases of cheapter materials, cheaper labor and with new innovations to these devices.
The problem is consistancy more than money. A regulation board setup to address all disabled people world-wide with all nations involved for only x amount of alternative devices and their applications for an all in one model. Right now there are too many too count in the screen reader department, braille displays/embossers, and etc but if people had more information less errors could be made in the name of competition. Another thing changing trade agreements to countries where currency plays less of a role in accessible technology from Australia, United States, Canada, Western Europe and other markets.
In general, buildings are better to transfer from steps the dated system to a ramp universal design you see? It shouldn't be an alternative rather it should be the norm. Another thing is a gps system like Wayfinder Access/Navigator to access via your telephone to find out where by foot you are located and where you are going in pedesterian speech. Easy right? No, people are lazy fat ******** quite frankly unwilling to give a damn. Another thing brailling doors or large print instead of smaller print makes sense to stop legalizers like lawyers to f- us up in their trade deals and older people won't have to use their glasses or contacts as much. It seems common sense to me.
