Governor Gregoire wants special budget session in November

Desperation breeds anger.  Who do you suppose angry, unemployed men and
women will strike out against?  One thing for certain, we blind folks are
very, very vulnerable.  Can you hear it now?  "Why should we support
training for the blind when so many able bodied people are looking for a
job?"
"Why should my taxes go to house some worn out old blind people when they
have families to care for them?"
"Spending our meager resources on educating blind children is laughable.
Just who's going to hire them?"
And so it will go for all vulnerable populations.
I can't help but be frustrated when I see our organizations still feuding
among ourselves and sitting by doing little to bring our pending crisis to
the table.  This is a world-wide depression looking us in the face.  Perhaps
we can't do much, but we need to be proactive.  We need to talk about our
choices.  Even as we sit by, hoping against hope that the blind will slide
by, the Super Committee may be cutting us off at the knees.  Where are our
eyes and ears?  What can we do?

  Here's the deal Dear Miriam...Not matter what you or I might wish
for...The
  economic world is getting very desperate.

  I see it all around me and in nearby Flint with all the poverty and
  unemployment and indeed lawlessness.

  Roger might weigh in here on the need for a Revolutionary vangard and all
  the Marxist theories for such revolutionary or reactionary times. One
might
  flip a coin to find the result of this. I suspect the empire builders have
  rigged that coin too.

  I don't know anymore, but again things are very desperate for increasing
  segments of the population.
