-- legislator introduces a deaf law
Florida legislator Victor Torres (of Orlando) wants to
introduce a bill to have a "deaf" symbol on the
deaf drivers' licenses. Is it going to quickly
alert the cop to drivers' deafness? Maybe not -
cops often do not get it when the deaf driver
points to his ear - before - he gives the cop
his driver's license!
-- hearing cost vs deaf cost
Super Bowl is coming up. May the best team win!
Cost of a 30 second Super Bowl ad? Just
five million bucks. It is cheap for these
super-rich corporations. They look on millions
as pennies! Cost of deaf captions? Maybe just
$100 for 30 seconds; maybe $200.00. These
super-rich corporations may scream that it is
SO EXPENSIVE!
