The rally for a deaf president at Gallaudet University is pretty intriguing. I think I may have heard about it briefly before this assignment‚ but not enough to be able to explain it‚ let alone have an opinion on the matter. I never realized how crazy and intense the situation became. The students completely shutting down the school wasn’t as much of a surprise‚ I suppose. But the clips of people making dummies with name tags that read‚ “Spillman”‚ and “Zinser”‚ and hanging them on lampposts seemed

civilizations‚ we view the way of life in those times as filthy. Undoubtedly‚ if humanity continues to move forward‚ centuries from now even the most advanced western ways of life in our time may also be seen as filthy.
