I'm going to make one comment and then I'd like to suggest we drop
this topic, okay?

Until those of you who are a part of "Deaf Apartheit" (to coin Jack's
term) quit acting radical and making things difficult for the rest
of us, nothing is ever going to improve for any of us.  It is time
to quit labeling, quit building barriers, quit isolation, etc.
and all try to work together as a whole to educate the unknown and
show how things can be improved so we all will get the full benefit
of living independently and as REAL people - not as deaf people.

Enough said - let's move on.
