I've been in a massive building today with a brail sign next to the lift, I imagine it denotes which floor it is. Logical, I reckon, as that concept seems pretty reasonable; but then is it? How do the blind find the lift sign? This seems like a major oversight and the kind of thing that must annoy a blind person.
If I was to suddenly go blind, I think I would be a troublemaker for ages; like when rock stars first become successful. In my mind I would be a blind Che Geuvara, for a while I would probably also consider leading a blind rebellion trying to ensure equal rights. Given that they don't know where they're looking though, it'd really require the blind to become kamikaze bombers of some sort; strapped to a skateboard and pointed towards a building by a sighted-person, which in itself is a major barrier to guerrilla warfare. This is reality and not being defeatist, I mean if you don't even know which box you're putting your cross in during a democratic vote, it would really be impossible to progress a revolution.
