[1] re: Phurdher Reeding bhut NOT Phor the blind (phrom jc) [2] Frederick FN Noronha "preachated" the following: Being visually challenged is usually not something we have control over. As such, it is best not referred to as if it's someone's fault. It could happen to any of us. FN
[3] RESPONSE: At times like this, I really almost believe that FN does us all a major disservice by letting his personal likes and dislikes get the better of him. In this case, he ends up pontificating to jc, by blinding himself from the many uses of the word 'blind'. Anyone reading the "blind sentence" with an open mind (and esp if one who is not adequately versed with the English language) would immediately consider looking up a dictionary (e.g. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/blind) before planning to preach. Disclosure: A significant % among the first paragraph of the RESPONSE has/have been plagiarized from a recent FN post. jc for reference: blind [blahynd] verb, noun, adverb 2.unwilling or unable to perceive or understand 3.not characterized or determined by reason or control 4.not having or based on reason or intelligence; absolute and unquestioning --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
