Does anyone know how and where to buy personal life insurance without
provisions made to exclude coverage because of blindness.

I know that Illinois has a law forbidding insurance from discriminating
against those who are blind or partially blind when issuing health or life
policies and setting premiums. I suspect other states have similar
provisions. I'm not sure if this applies to Illinois-based companies issuing
policies to out-of-staters. Check with your state's insurance commission.

That's a concern of mine too, from what I understand, it can't be
done. I think this is an issue which needs some
discussion/campaigning/whatever. For me anyway, it's much more
improtant than exit rows, or airport searches. Have you had any
luck with health insurance? I'm going off my mom and dad's soon,
and I should have my own if I can get it. Later.. Chris
