Re: The Greatest Controversy Of Our Time

I think it's highly likely that a blind man, especially one with tons of media experience like Stevie Wonder, can tell what's happening around him by nonvisual cues - feeling things and people move near him, hearing sounds, hearing voices, orienting his own body in socially appropriate ways...

I think it's also highly likely that a man without vision, especially one with a good ear, can appreciate sports and TV shows by listening to them.

Conclusion: saying he's "not really blind" because he shows awareness of what's going on around him? Not cool.

Yeah, this is what I feel too, and anyone who's spent a significant amount of time around someone who is blind will agree. My "grandfather" (unrelated to me by blood, but filled the grandfatherly role in my life) lost most of his sight in the Korean War, but he loved tv and watching/listening to baseball and basketball. He was a great guy, and incredibly perceptive of what was around him; probably moreso than you or I.

Wait, I just realized. This is our frickin' Gawker Media troll again! Bah!
