Well, let illustrator call or file up a suggestion to FCC because I am sure that there are many deafies will file a complaints or suggestions to not let them change the policy (I am talking about free long distance) to cancel illustrator's suggestion. After all everyone are entitle to share their opinions and feedbacks so illustrator shared
his opinion after all, nothing more or less than that :p
My date is hearing as well and she supports whatever we recieve from government. That's my gal!
Perhaps that illustrator don't realize that government has been ignore us or our needs for years, years and years like no closed captions in our parents & grandparents'' time, no TTY (in old time), deaf don't allow to drive certain vehicles, no interpreters for radio, blah blah many many thousands more that deafies do not
have the access (there are some that still don't give us the fair access). illustrator, perhaps you will need to ask your "lover" a question, "why don't we have the access to radio like hearings do without altering our bodies such as so-called CI and other things?" And ask her another question if you like, why does deafies earn low pay than hearings do in same position, same degrees, same experiences and same attitudes? (Thanks to my
hearing gal for this second question because it actually happen to two deaf employes she know at her work who can perform more quick and skill than hearings do in same position/degrees/attitudes yet recieve
low salary. Out of 600 employes, my gal is only person who filed a complaint against her work about that. Sad eh?)
I think it is
reasonable for deafies to have
some privilages like free long distance. So if you want to pay the long distance relay online then be my guest and donate your money to these relay online, I am sure they would appreciate the donation from you
but don't expect us to do same thing until we or I have the same access as hearings do then I am sure we or I would consider to do same thing as you do.
Cheers!
