Reason you have those knives in your back, you have created those who really hate your guts. It is about time you listen to others rather than you dictate your views onto others.

Read up in the dictionary. There are two meanings to the word "deaf". When you say "not deaf enough", what in the world is that suppose to mean? NAD means exactly that, the National Association of people who do not listen (or, refuse to listen).

A bit of a biased research, I would think. A foundation in language is important, and to be successful in America, a dominant hearing world, you need to master English at the bare minimum.

(short form) type of survey, where very basic information are asked, and the "who am I?" (long form) type of survey where in-depth information is acquired. The 2000 survey contains a great mix of this, with the vast majority as a "Count me!" (short form) type of survey. The second survey is actually conducted more frequently but is being replaced by a new survey called the American Community Survey -- I was specifically requested to fill out one of that survey a few weeks ago, and yes it does specifically asked about my physical handicaps.

The last time a full-scale census or count was attempted was in 1973, I believe. People have been using the "28 million" figure for decades since. I really think it's time that a new census/count was done, not just extrapolations from this government agency and that agency. Extrapolations aren’t the same thing as a census.
