If I didn't have hearing people keeping their beady eyes on me, I'm sure I could easily sleep through a five hour gun siege.

They still do not acknowlege us as deaf. It will acknowledge Hispanish so they can help more spanish speaking people. It will acknowlege Muslims, Homo, or whatever. But we should acknowlege hearing people who helps deaf people. We can call them "hearing" and acknowledge their help. Call them "hearing" and we are "deaf". Keep doing it since we like to hear about good news like hearing helps deaf or deaf help deaf or whatever. Keep doing it and I enjoyed your deaf news. I am not left out and be thankful.
