What if Alexander Graham Bell never existed?
Random Thoughts and Musings One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Sliders, a sci-fi show about an unlikely quartet that is stuck wandering the multiverse, landing on parallel/alternate earths in a perhaps vain attempt to return to their home Earth (known as Earth Prime.) They travel the Einstein-Rosen-Podolosky wormhole between Earths over five seasons. During their five seasons together, [...]

RidorLIVE I’ve decided to take a break from blogging for a day — now I’m back.  God have pity on me — the emails!  I need a secretary or two to screen the daily emails! However, in order to recover from the schism that plagued Gallaudet for nearly six months, one must have a discourse on different [...]

IKJ?s Reconciliation Message - Unapologetic and Still in...
The GU Private Investigator I’ve been watching Gallaudet’s News postings over the past few days ever since it announced the BoT’s decision to oust Fernandes. More importantly, I was watching to see whether the PR Department would post more editorials that were pro-Fernandes as it had done in the past. It is important to emphasize just how overwhelming the Deaf [...]

Jack Slutzky's Misconceptions Re-visited
Javietz Regarding Jack Slutzky's definition of culture in Gallaudet Isolating Deaf (11/3/06), the problem with dictonaries is that a single word often has multiple meanings. It is easy to chose a definition one likes in favor of another right above or below it. Mr. Slutzky has said the meaning of culture is "the development of intellectual and moral abilities; enlightenment [...]

Gallaudet is best.A few months ago, I wrote an email to a friend of mine that I refuse, I repeat, refuse to be accountable for JKF?s [...]

Jane and the Volcano
DeafDC.com In a sense, Dr. Jane K. Fernandes was right. To paraphrase what she told the Washington Post, she just happened to be the woman standing next to the volcano when it erupted. A volcano erupts when pressure builds up in its recesses. The pressure causes magma?molten rock?to force its way to the surface. Eruptions can be [...]

On Examining Ourselves as a Society
Mishka Zena Rainmond in his blog said:When Jane Fernandes started her “not Deaf enough,” business, she dehumanized us. How? Think about it. How many people became terrified of even saying they wanted a culturally Deaf person to be President? This is a valuable topic for the sociology department to research.
