BRAVO!   ASL is a "high" method of communication that DESERVES as much
respect as a foreign language!
    So much idea can get across in ASL than English could ever
provide.. Much more can be done if everyone knew ASL!

I have a friend  that is very interested in the physical  brain
processing of  ASL, as well as  the social reasons of ASL.. She has
been doing alot of  research and everyday I see her, she always has an
incredible "tid-bit" to share with me about ASL...

What we need to do, is form a team  of professionals willing to support
one other- to fight for respect towards ASL as a "high level" language!
