-- postal service suffers a black eye
The US Postal Service has a big black eye, a big
embarrassment. A deaf woman went to the post office in
Port Orange, Florida, wanting to know how to send
a package. The clerk refused to write notes and
ordered her out of the post office! The deaf woman
then asked the supervisor about it but he refused
to help her! Today, the U.S. Postal Service publicly
apologized for this sickening incident.
-- deaf winning Music's Nobel Prize
There is no such a thing as a Nobel Prize in music, but
the Polar Music Prize is the highest honor all musicians
dream of winning. The latest winner, announced today
is Evelyn Glennie, a British woman. She is deaf and
for many years she has been considered as the world's
greatest percussionist. People have said that the
Polar Music Prize is the music's equivalent of the
Nobel Prize.
-- deaf members of the traffic police
DeafDigest mentioned yesterday re two deaf terrorists
wanting to recruit more terrorists, via sign language
and captions in Arabic and English. It was learned that
both men are brothers and work in an Arabic nation
as traffic policemen. And they introduced themselves
as deaf-mutes instead of deaf!
