Although we have virtually won the battle against insurance companies that discriminate against the blind , we still have a long way to go in convincing the general public that we the blind , as a class , pose no higher risks to ourselves and others than does the public at large , and that we can - - indeed we must - - assume responsibility for ourselves and our actions in order to take our places on an equal basis with the rest of the public in the continuing adventure of human existence . Let us apply the transparency which we demand of others to ourselves . The economic issue is how we repay loans to ourselves . And do we also do such things to ourselves ? Shall we make the effort necessary to secure these advantages to ourselves ?
