Hi Dark. I can tell you that hear in Canada the cnib is just like the rnib
in the uk it is hard to get them to do anything and they just care about old
people. there is a vary good book on this topic cald The Politicks of
Blindness by a blind guy who is from the uk and he now lives in Canada and
works as a phisieo therapist. the intro to this book is written by David
blunket. from Mich.

Unfortunately Jeremy getting the rnib to do anything is near impossible
sinse they are a law unto themselves.
heck I've tried to get them to record sf and fantasy books for the last 22
years and mostly completely failed!
I suspect the reasons that they are behind azabat are either because A,
the chap himself has some sort of personal connection with their
management, or B, because Azabat have very much the same outlook as rnib
do on blindness, namely that all blind people are doddery old biddies who
just want to sit around, knit and play cards all day. Remember this is an
organization that produce a magazine of braille knitting patterns, but
catagorically refused to produce braille manuals for tabletop rp when I
asked.
Unfortunately, as far as disability goes, places like the Us, the
netherlands, Most of scandanavia, Germany and probably quite a few more
places are far more ahead of the Uk in terms of atitude, whether that's
the government or disability organizations.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
