I believe that it makes the whole community stronger and wiser. By the way, I just want to pick out one piece on the “attitude” and stretch it out.

Jim's DEEP Thoughts Ever since the superbowl game, I have been wondering (still wondering) if AGBell responded to the National Association of the Deaf (NAD)'s letter to Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AGBell) about their comments on their letter to PepsiCo.To this day, I have not seen any responses from AG Bell. A few days after the letter was posted i... Sun, Feb 17 2008 AGBAD Recognises ASL! (a small step forward?)

The Raging Hands As you all probably heard of what is happening between NAD and AGBAD, I want to commend Bobbie Beth Scoggins on what she did on NAD'S behalf. I personally am disgusted with the letter that AGBAD wrote to Pepsi Co. because AGBAD does not accurately represent the true core vision and values of the Deaf community. NAD is the true representative of the Deaf Community. I t... Sun, Feb 10 2008 Deaf and hearing loss communities

I refuse to be shy about it because it's happening right now.Rudeness in word and deed as it appears in the letter from the Alexander Graham Bell Association of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (AGBAD) criticizing the Pepsi Cola Company actually tests the limit of tolerance.
