-- the hated TV texts
In a small Australian town, news on TV is shown
on text instead of captions. That should be OK,
except that with that small town TV station,
texts are "stuck" all the time and is always
chopping off the bottom part of the news.
A deaf TV viewer has complained about it and
the TV station people have just shrugged.
This is why Deaf Americans bless the FCC!
-- hearing don't want it
In Manistee, Michigan, a town of some 6,200 people,
there are 14 openings for council seats. Only
one hearing candidate has signed up. Others
don't want it. If hearing don't want it, then
is it possible for a deaf resident to just
sign up and and be easily elected? The problem
is - how many deaf residents live in Manistee,
and how many of them are interested in town
hearing politics, which can be quite nasty?
