TRUST is at the core of these issues as you correctly point out, but once TRUST is lost, its takes a long, long time to ever regain it, if we ever do...<BR/><BR/>Just ask the wife whose husband has been caught sleeping with his secretary. Can she ever totally trust him again? What about the Deaf person wrongfully arrested and abused by the Police? Can he/she ever trust the police again?<BR/><BR/>And that leads of course to the Deaf Adult who was told all her life that she has excellent speech, that she is NORMAL, and she will be exactly like everyone else if she just continues to talk, listen use her CI, and NEVER, NEVER learn sign language. When she finally discovers that her speech is totally unintelligible (except to her oral teachers and her mother), and that ASL opens a completely new and wonderful world she has never known before, her first (NORMAL) reaction is: "They lied to me all these years!!"<BR/><BR/>Will she ever trust her mother, her teachers, her hearing "friends" or Hearing People in general? Probably NEVER totally trust what those people tell her, because they LIED ever since she was a little girl.<BR/><BR/>So will DBC ever "TRUST" AG Bell? Not in this lifetime!! Will DBC learn to trust Deafhood? Probably, because their goals are closely related. <BR/><BR/>Thinking about it....abchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072358232279269911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906751063718382074.post-60819424271821906812008-07-15T14:18:00.000-04:002008-07-15T14:18:00.000-04:00Yeah i know what u mean, deaf community had divide...Yeah i know what u mean, deaf community had divided themselves up into dufferent groups and separated. i think that is silly, i never heard of hearing ppl dividing themselves... i am just plain ole Deafie!!! i do not belong to any groups, just deaf, period...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906751063718382074.post-71907737196877788422008-07-15T14:13:00.000-04:002008-07-15T14:13:00.000-04:00Yea, good post...
