-- the Alexander Graham Bell mystery
Telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell was not
liked by some deaf people because of his strong
anti-ASL, pro-oral viewpoints. Some of them have
said he wanted deaf people elmininated from the
face of earth. If this is true, then why did
he marry a deaf woman. And as a Coda, would
he have hated his deaf mother? Things claimed
about him just does not make sense!
-- deaf job at gas station to fill up tanks
Years ago, drivers got their gas filled up
at gas stations by gas attendants. It was not
until 1970's when gas stations became
self-service. Anyway - did we have deaf
gas station attendants? Do not know but
there was a 1947 movie "Out of the Past"
that featured a fake-deaf actor that
played the role of a deaf gas station
attendant. Critics said the acting of
that fake-deaf actor was realistic!
