Isn't this legal ruling a great victory for those who suffer from blindness?

I am legally blind and I know that problem. I can never tell what bill I have and have to rely on the kindness of others to tell me the truth when I pay a bill or buy something. I have been ripped off before. I would love it if the money were easier to tell apart but it sounds like we would go through a lot of ex pence to get it done. I will just use my Debit card for now. Maybe that would be the best solution.

Yep. If someone files a public welfare petiotion on supreme court, supreme court can pass the ruling on it.

That was a good victory for the American people.  The supreme court is made up of more Reps then Dems. The law is the law and if you think Bush is above it then you are part of the problem. People die for the freedoms that Bush is taking away from us and you don't care because you only think of yourself and not all Americans. But don't worry I was in the Marines and I will still fight to protect your rights even if you wont fight to protect mine.

yes.  (go read the one question I've asked.)  It blows my mind...the blind leading the blind.

do you have evidence of this or have you just experienced one case where you were affected or knew someone affected and are biased by that. Courts are also bound by previous decisions of courts higher than their own which means that some results may seem unfair but are in the big picture more beneficially than harmfull

fourth grade teacher, Ms. Chaudoin, saved me from blindness.  I was terribly near-sighted & my parents were unable to detect it...one day when I couldn't read the black board, my teacher had me come about 3' away from the board & i still couldn't read it so she sent me home with a note, my parents got me into the eye doctor & i got corrective lenses which i had desparately...hat's off, Ms. Chaudoin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with guroo_ray.  Sounds like he thinks that only people with money should be able to seek compensation for harms done to them.  Citizens have the right to file petitions and are able to without a lawyer. Look up "pro se litigancy".  There are books on how to represent yourself in court.  I've done it.

Yes. I think its great. Judges need discernment.

You definitely need glasses to see well but it is nowhere near the worst.  My dad was -11 and Tiger Woods was -14.  Those are both legally blind.

Hi Maddy, I am taking a few moments this morning to reduce stress, pre-wedding jitters, not really nerves, just the usual worries of everything going correctly, as planned. lol \n\nSo, here I am anwering one of your great questions! ;-)  I too have often mused on how the blind or others who have lost a sense, manage to do things, normal everyday things those who have all five senses take for granted on a daily basis. I have mused on what it would be like to be blind. You see, one of my daughters had a knife put out her left eye when she was six. It was a horrific experiance for her and also her father and I. While she has not been completely blind sense birth, we have always been very worried, and sensitive of the worry she may lose sight in her one remaining eye. She was able to 'keep' her damaged eye, but she is basically 90% blind, only able to see shadows and blurred color in it. So, you can imagine this is something I have thought about a great deal. \n\nI read the answers you received when I first clicked here. Bonacua B is as close to an honest interpretation, or considered response than any other. Now, imagination does not require sight. They 'way' they imagine things will be different than those with sight, but they still will have dreams and imagination. Blind folks are as capable of those with sight of being able to be imaginative, innovative, creative and otherwise intuitive. They are in a unique position to provide an alternate view, which can be very impressive. When we are in a 'think tank' it is of best interest to implement as diverse a group as possible. When we keep the group diverse we are able to obtain a uniquely cohesive thought process which can produce great innovative and creative 'out of the box' thinking. This will enable the group to come up with a tremendously increased measure of ideas and concepts. When we place a group of non diverse members into a position of requiring innovative and creative ideas, they are limited to only simular processes as they all have the same abilities and therefor are limited. \n\nThe blind may not be able to see 'color' but color has more than a visual affect. Color is uniquely viewed by each individual with sight. Men and women see colors differently. There are scientific studies which demonstrate these differences between the sexes when it comes to seeing color. The blind are able to imagine colors by using verbal stimuli to create a visual concept. Colors also create emotions, blue is calming, red is stimulating, yellow is comforting, black can be either rage, or blankness, grey is dismal, etc. By utilizing all the elements of color the blind are able to concepulize these and form their own unique 'vision' of color. \n\nEmotions are very strong elements, and they are created from many differing sourses. When we are able to utilize all of our resourses we are then able to acheive our highest potentials. The blind are not any different in this as those who see. \n\nThose who are born blind do NOT increase other senses to 'compensate' for the lost sense. Studies have shown that the other senses which are seeminly increased, are available for the sighted to acheive those inhanced heighths. We ALL have the capasity to use our senses to a maximine capasite, the same as the blind, we just don't do it. When we are trained to use our senses to the highest levels we are able to acheive seeminly spiritual elements within our abilities to minipulate them. Most people just do not work on increasing their senses to the degree of their full capasity. The blind are trained to do so. So, it is not an ability to obtain any higher degree of use in remaining senses, above the ability of any seeing person, it is just they work at acheiving these 'high' degree of developed senses. \n\nI firmly believe the born blind are as able as any other to imagine and dream. The way this is manifested may be different, of course it

Blind or not blind, love should never happen at first sight. I think a blind person is at an advantage as he/she is not going to make a  choice by looks alone.

It indicates the person is near sighted.

That's a good one J. I dont think they get it. But if you were\nsnow blind, you might (see one that is), and they MIGHT get it.

Decisions made by government regarding the health and safety of the people are extremely difficult to change through the court system.  A Supreme Court case called Lee Optical established that as long as the law regulating medical practices in particularly, and health and safety generally, has a "rational basis" for being enacted, it will stand.  This is a state medical board decision, and it would likely be granted the same kind of broad deference.  The only way you could seek to change that regulation is to petition the board, and to enlist the help of others in petitioning the board.  That's just the way the democratic process works.

you are conscious, only your eye is numbed. You could check with your doctor if you prefer something different, but it would also effect the price of the surgery considerably.

I was going to say all 3, but since you put it that way it is a perception thing. But if you think about it. A blind person would not know about the cockaroach. Or if a person feel beautiful they are if to noone but them selves. and then there is always the old saying Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. so it is up to each individual.

Yes. Actually in his final years he was completely blind because of this.
