		<description>The Clod and the Pebble
William Blake

"Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a heaven in hell's despair."

So sung a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet,
But a Pebble of the brook
Warbled out these metres meet:

"Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a hell in heaven's despite."</description>

		<description>Thanks, McConnell for the correct blog web address. 
 
  Curious Eyes, Ridor seems have questionable standards of his own. Ridor usually claim that he stands for little people. I think that Ridor is really afraid of any formidable competiton like mine. 

  I am not the kind of person who would rely upon secondary or third-party sources. Ridor need to learn that he have to spend some legworks like attending the meeting or talk with someone to verify whenver he or she did say such things. 

  For example, I inquired Ridor last summer at the Green Lantern bar whether he did use the term of "militancy" or "miltant" in his threat to the Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf (RAD). He pressed me for the name of individual. I had nothing to hide and named that respectable individual. 

  Guess what??  Ridor posted the name of individual and called him names like "You are an idiot ...." WITHOUT verifying with this respectable person. I was really appalled and shocked how this surely intelligent person did not doing any journalsitic stuff like checking out the source. This deaf individual emailed me "Guess what, I am in Ridor's blog". I checked out Ridor's blog and said "Jesus Christ!". 

  I have no problem with Ridor as a person. He is really a good person, but misguided in some ways. 

  I once have been a victim of his smear campaign with false innuendos and whatever happened to me. I meant that Ridor unjustly demonized me for not who and what I was. 

  Alot of people and I discussed about Ridor the 5 W's - why, who, what, where and other w's. Almost everybody said that Ridor is truly an intelligent person, but let his emotions rule thinking approach. 

  Ridor is much like JKF and IKJ which he sometimes instill "fear" in people with the power of his blogs. That explain his 'Scorpio" personality. If any of you are very familar with "The Scorpion and the Frog" fable. You would understand who and what Ridor is all about. 

  I still hope for Ridor to find his true love and make himself feel loved and appreciated. I have nothing personal against Ridor.

		<description>Capital D, sorry for not responding. Didn't see you question about attending NAD. No, I won't but I could write an email or something of that sort. If I were to go, I'd speak rather than sign to a group of people. That's my nature, I speak all the time and so am comfortable in doing that. Of course, some of the Deaf rabble rousers will accuse me of being disrespectful when it's the opposite for not respecting my choice and zone of comforts even though I sign to some of my deaf friends.</description>
