Go Sleep, George Veditz!

This is the second attempt — discussing my interpretation of a Zen story, "Just Go to Sleep"  and its implication for "Don't Cling" and ASL.  Hope it works this time! :)

    Of course your hearing children are above average yes, Okay Since you might know that for any Deaf child of Deaf parents have acquiring of the language by their eyes through ASL and a hearing child of hearing parents have normal that is average about 1000 times of acquiring through the sound of the language, now a hearing child of Deaf parents have double acquiring very above of any because that hearing child already develop both way of using eyes and hearings that mean 500 times of using eyes and 1000 times of using sounds that makes double for a hearing child of Deaf parents. I have heard many times .

    We, the Deaf Community, should not be complacent. We should always remember the famous story, “Helen of Troy.” The first people the hearing parents consult about discovering the deafness of their babies are none other than doctors who lead them to audiologists. CI doctors who are CI Corporations’s payroll, work harder than ever before. See Scientist Loeb’s letter wherein he says in a creeping and mocking tone that ASL and Deaf Culture would become UNsustainable. See the letter below:

    “Edward Dolnick’s sense of historical timing is as acute as his sense of balance. The cochlear prosthesis , on which I have worked for years with many other scientists, engineers, and clinicians, will lead inevitably to the extinction of the alternative culture of the Deaf, probably within a decade. There will still be deaf people, some by choice and some because the technology cannot address (yet) some forms of deafness, but they
    will be so thinly scattered that the Deaf culture will be unsustainable.

    “Gerald E. Loeb, M.D., Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada
    Source: Atlantic Magazine, Deafness as a Culture by Edward Dolnick
    Editorial, Page 8, December 1993″

    Hi Jean,

    Thanks for your input. Take a notice of the date inside the letter — a decade from 2003. It has been 15 years now and our culture is still existing — let’s say . .. we sustain!! :)

    JohnABC & Davy,

    Yeah! ASL FOREVER!!! :) It is the God’s noblest gift to the d/Deaf and but of course to hearies, too. Thus it will be like a scribe — the Bible. The Deaf Bible or 101 Deaf Zen Stories (lol).

    Bless George,

    Thanks for your comment. I am glad that you concur!

    Bonne nuit!

    No tolerance against our values and future.

    Teri…. You spelled his name wrong (Geroge) in your title. It should be George. :)
    Can you fix it or is it too late?
