Well, it does make Deafies look bad. But consider how many hearing employers tend to reject highly eligible Deaf workers.
I think it's no excuse for both Deaf and Hearing sides on this issue. Once Hearing people realize we're actually not that "disabled," and that we have our own culture, and treat us as equals.... that time will come for us to stop relying on government aid money.
Deaf people don't really need financial help from both hard-working Hearing and Deaf taxpayers alike (because they are generally very able-minded and able-bodied.) On the other hand, Hearies need to get more educated about us and give us the chance for more educational and job opportunities. As a result, we won't need to be hypocrital and rely on tax dollars any longer.
Shame on the Hearies who think we're "disabled retards" that can't substain ourselves. Shame on the Deafies who leech off that such belief, thus substaining that myth. Catch my fuckin' drift?
