CUT AND PASTE JOURNAL
   ^FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY ̄
?   ^Sign language is not impervious to change. It can
    grow; it can adapt to modern needs. All signers can
    participate in the process of re-creating a language
    that reflects modern sensibilities, cultural sensitivity,
    and respect for diversity. There is always room for
    improvement C and for creativity. ̄
?   ^It¨s perfectly okay to be fascinated by Deaf culture
    and the way Deaf people communicate, and quite
    understandable to be intrigued by seeing them
    signing in public. ̄
?   ^In case you¨re wondering if movie theaters and the
    home-video industry are covered by the ADA, the
    answer is no. ... It¨s strictly voluntary. ̄
CUT AND PASTE JOURNAL
   ^FOR HEARING PEOPLE ONLY ̄
?   ^Most Deaf people appreciate a hearing stranger¨s
    interest´If you get rebuffed, don¨t take it personally.
    Take it in stride, as a negative learning experience. It
    happens to all of us. ̄
?   ^We believe that deaf children should be exposed to
    sign language as well as speech, as part of a Total
    Communication or Bilingual-Bicultural curriculum. They
    can choose whatever mode they feel comfortable with. ̄
?   ^Obviously, not all career possibilities are equally
    feasible. Everyone has talents. Everyone has limitations.
    Everyone has abilities. And everyone has disabilities.
    Nothing is accomplished without risk and sacrifice. We
    deserve the right to fail as well as to succeed. ̄
