The Golden Rule is always a good way to live our lives, but it is especially true when it comes to access issues. If we all did to others what we wanted others to do to us, the world would be a kinder place.My point in spouting off about kindness and the Golden Rule, you ask? Well, I went [...]

When we have a government which re-defines ‘lame’ when it comes to excuses - for goodness’ sake, it claims that it’s not cost-effective, not practical to have close captioning on prime-time TV - we really have a long slog ahead. There are 28 million deaf and hard-of-hearing [...]
