I do know what im saying , and yet I wil refuse to explain further, because it is probably more responsible to 'holdback' and let the 'rude awakening' to occur more gently in so doing, you would have more grip to preserve your sanity.
If I get started on the oppression piece it is possible I will never stop.

You are on a very high horse and making some very interesting claims which, you do not seem to have shown the qualifications to be making. I am not sure what this 'rude awakening' that you speak of is but I do know that it is not coming to me anytime soon. I am very involved in the disabilities rights movement and while it is true that there are many Deaf people who refuse to align with it there are also many that do. I am very involved in human rights in general and I know the ins and outs of it very well.

Quite frankly, your last post was merely a string of extravegant words strung together in an attempt to make yourself seem smart. In reality you didn't really say anything...
