i heard you loud and clear the first couple of times...it's funny you studied ethics.. because its very obvious, hence my "wallet on the counter" quote.. its nice that you get to view the world like a textbook example.
to me, you just prove torrins point that people don't understand the vagueness of partial blindness and instead can only comprehend absolutes. What im saying is, unless you've experienced something similer to torrins medical condition, regardless of what percent blind he actually is, spare us the "i would nevers..." How can you even begin to claim what you would do without going through all the emotional pain such a situation causes?
So take all your self-rightous contempt and name calling somewhere else, it is pompous and hollow.
