-- a deaf performer on a TV program
The Block is a popular reality TV show in Australia.
This program has been around, on and off, since 2003.
It is about 5 couples that buy houses for renovation
and then sell at auction for the highest price
possible. One of the apprentice carpenters on this
TV program is James Vea. He is deaf and on the program
his name is Deaf Tradie. Why that strange name? Do not
know.
-- a new law unfair to the deaf!
There is a new law in Illinois that allows hearing drivers
to use cell phone while driving a car; it must either be
a speakerphone or a Bluetooth headset - both which does
not require use of hands. What about the deaf driver? Too
bad; they cannot drive and text while hearing can drive
and talk!
