I read Mishka Zena’s blog about several CI people of their experience. She was honest to let two sided views explain their experience.

Jack Barr had a CI victim explaining his experience too.

When Aaron V. explained his experience of his CI. A commenter, Susanna said:
“Mishka, I think it’s possibly beneficial for the deaf community for you to post these blogs, But it may be entirely detrimental to parents who come across them in the early stages if they even consider chossing against a CI for an infant. That is my personal opinion. I am not neutral, I am speaking in favor of the choice which allows deaf infants to avoid such painful situations as Aaron described in his childhood.”
Then another blogger, THE DEAF EDGE by Deaf Pundit wrote a blog,
“CI Militants”

Today, Mishka Zena’s blog, “CI: Detrimental To Tell Parents The Full Truth?”
http://blog.deafread.com/mishkazena/2008/01/18/ci-detrimental-to-tell-parents-the-full-truth/
When you read Mishka Zena’s blog about detrimental to Parents, you will wonder why they do that.
AGB been doing that for over 100 years TOO!
Nothing is new here, AGB and people like Susanna are skilled and win every time!
You wish to win against AGB’s domination, control, oppression, detrimental to Deaf Community????

Milwaukee SUMMERFEST starts on June 26th. So, if anyone is interested and need a break after the rally, SUMMERFEST is a great way to unwind.
