Yes, I see what you are saying and I agree with you that the wall 
between the hearing and the deaf needs to be broken down.

This is one of the reasons for my desire to be an advocate for the 
deaf community to bring more awareness to the hearing people.  And 
I hope someday that the deaf people will accept to meet them halfway, 
too.
 
Vixen, we need more people like you!  Because if there are more people 
like you, this world would be a better place!
 
Yes, I  am keeping the faith.
