Recently visiting a school for the blind I was amazed at the level of friendship between different races, colours and creeds.........

Are we all in danger of blinding ourselvesby focusing too much on our differences....... Adversity in the childrens case has enabled them to find common groundand realisethat they are all human being and not a colour....

Should we be focusing our efforts more on finding commonality and breeding harmony rather than opting for the easy option finding difference between our fellow human beings?

David Blunkett is a blindman. What a wonderful harmonious kind man he is too.

Why is it when it comes to anyone trying to promote peace and bloody harmony, they always look ONLY in our direction?confused3

When the day come that you ask whites what are they doing to promote this 'wonderland', is the day, I for one will be all ears.

If we were all blind...in a few years there would be no more "we" because we'd all be dead from accidents and starvation.

If bigotry is high on our list of aggrivations then would it be worth our sight? Man is too resourceful to allow himself to be cutoff.

In essense the only real way we can get true skin color out of the equation of social life is to not be able to see it.

There are some blacks who are just as detestable as the worse KKKlans man.Selection by skin color is the least affective way of choosing the best. Every group has the worst and the best attributes in them.

Life on this planet is a constant trial of man to coexist in the face of tremendous adversities. We (this present generation) have been given the task of correcting the errors of the previous generations. We are notvery good at performing the task.

blindness would promote patience. and inspire friendship as instead of seeing our differences we would automatically look for our similarities in order to get on in life, and move around.

If we were all blind, then we can forget about development.

We would all be on benefit and be labeled as disable

What is more frustrating is that we would all be in care home.

It is gonna be very boring, no adventure. But we would still have the Murderers, Rapist, thieves.
