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...

what qualifications? but then again pf course we do need qualifications - hmmph - but sometimes i am leery, for it imply a form of comforimity to the hearing world (but again if we want equal treatment we have to be meet half way) but conformity irks me a wee bit sometimes.
Well i guess that we have to 'earn' that respect from the hearing community to speak on our own behalf but sometimes its almost 'begging' for permision to speak? news ideas 'has to rub well' with the hearing - where is our 'real rights'?? coming to that, Disability rights movements, yay great. how so are you involved with human rights?
your human rights model maybe be in different flavour to ours, since that political, economic, and institutional set ups between american and New Zealand are not the same.
