But they do want websites that work for them. Many (good) web applications and JavaScript-heavy websites were developped in such a way that they offer all of the basic content and functionnality in no-JavaScript mode (JavaScript then supplements this base to improve the user experience). But there are few web applications and JavaScript-heavy websites that implement Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) 1, so that blind users will be able to decently use the website with JavaScript turned on. Plus there are other situations when you want CSS styles, JavaScript or Flash turned off, whether you’re a blind user or not. Oric, blind people do not want cheap websites.

I've watched a video where I think the main singer from "Sting" has a blind daughter and is pushing people to create "blind friendly" websites. Anything that helps those unfortunate enough to not experience the full web is a great addition in my eyes. Thats brilliant.
