-- some state courts won't give free interpreters
In eight states (Indiana, Vermont, Washington, DC, etc)
the judges may force deaf people to pay for their
own interpreters in the courtrooms. This was the
survey by National Center for Access to Justice.
It does not say judges will force, just says judges
may force. DeafDigest hopes that the deaf in these
states have judges that allow them to have free
interpreters.
-- the most dangerous country for deaf travelers
What is the most dangerous country in the world for
deaf travelers? It is Yemen. We have read about the
kidnappings and the hostages in Yemen. Irwin Bosch,
deaf and deceased, visited 107 nations. He said Yemen
is #1 most dangerous nation. Even when he has met
with deaf friends in Yemen, they cannot avoid danger!
-- refusing to watch captioned movies
A deaf person refuses to watch captioned movies.
She said there were captions on the bottom of
the screens in the past but no more today.
These open captions lost, and rear window captions
and then special googles and then caption glasses
won. That person said special glasses and goggles
were uncomfortable. Possibly there are many
deaf people that agree.
