G'day Kim, Yeah, I'd heard this, too. See below. Cheers, Rob. http://chumbly.math.missouri.edu/harel/quotes/keller.2.html " Oh, ridiculous Brooklyn Eagle! What an ungallant bird it is! Socially blind and deaf, it defends an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much of the physical blindness and deafness which we are trying to prevent....The Eagle and I are at war. I hate the system which it represents...When it fights back, let it fight fair....It is not fair fighting or good argument to remind me and others that I cannot see or hear. I can read. I can read all the socialist books I have time for in English, German and French. If the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle should read some of them, he might be a wiser man, and make a better newspaper. If I ever contribute to the Socialist movement the book that I sometimes dream of, I know what I shall name it: Industrial Blindness and Social Deafness." >From p.338, Helen Keller, in reply to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, of whom she said: "But now that I have come out for socialism he reminds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error...." --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
