i hate to be blunt but even the Deafs from ther cultural perspectives end to be quite disablist as well!, they demand all deafs to be competent in signs and be punished if they dont. This doesn't help the quest for all deaf and Deaf people to gain equality/equity (depending whats your vews/philosophy are) when they practise elitism of their own version. Two wrongs doesnt make a right. Disability does not mean un-ablity as DD said that is correct, however some 'adaptions' are often NOT what disabled people wanted and even if it is so, maybe even the delivary is not appropropriate, thus disabilty has not got alot to do with 'impairments' as professionals like to say, it is more about how decision 'are made already' by arrogant career-mnded professionals. Now does can any one identify this happening within the deaf-welfare/advocacy organisations? can you see how some its just there in different form, like its really the same cake, with different icings.

She sees you, and you know that if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with, and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember. Not every day, every week... she comes back to you. It's the memory of another life you could have had. Today is that girl.
