Help For The Blind

People always say "Hitler and Stalin were atheists". True or not, this is irrelevant, as neither of them actually did all the killing. The murders were carried out by the populations of Germany and the Soviet Republics - populations raised from birth with religious dogma.

Did being trained as children to accept religious dogma without question make it easier for them as adults to accept political dogma without question?

The issue is a willingness to accept things without evidence. This is not open minded, it's irresponsible. It leads to blind faith in religion, political regimes, an many other ideologies.

I am legally blind and am wondering if I can still use the e-file option for my taxes and still get the additional deduction for being legally blind? If not, will I have to mail them in and wait for my refund?

I would have to say "yes." You are entitled to this deduction and you need to take it. Every deduction that is available to you when you file a paper return is also available when you efile.

Good luck.

How does a deaf person learn sign language? They can't hear, so how do they learn what the different signals mean?

How does a blind person learn to read braile?

What about people who are both blind AND deaf, like Hellen Keller, except born that way? How are they taught to communicate at all, when they can't see or hear, and never could?

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY, PLEASE. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW.

Think of this:
When you are reading your screen, you are not listening. You could have earplugs and still be able to read. That is is visual understanding of language.

Again, if you can´t see anything, like in a closed dark theater, you can still understand a conversation. The blind person will have their hands and ears to relate to their environment. Using Braille and a cane use these resources.

Braille uses a set of spaced dots, something like the alphabet used last century for telegrams: Morse code: a series of dots and lines. You just have to learn to read and write them.

The blind and deaf person are a real problem. I know a man who has never heard or seen anything! He uses the palm of his hand to communicate. Something like Hellen Keller. Of course, like Ms. Keller, he does have a preson who can see and hear who types in his hand and receives the typed messages.

Education of the Blind and Deaf is extensively described elsewhere.
