With apologies to Glenn Lockhart, we are thrilled to announce that DeafDC.com was quoted in today’s Washington Post Express Blog Log! It was a quote from Erin Himmelmann’s blog “Take one away, and what are you left with?” which asked a question that hearing people probably ask themselves all the time, “Would you rather be deaf or blind?” The exact quote in the Blog Log is:

There’s no right or wrong answer to this question. It’s a matter of how  you live your life; it’s how you want to live it, minus one sense.

One commenter from Erin’s blog pointed to a quote by Helen Keller, a deaf and blind woman who gave us insight into the dilemma:

Blindness cuts people off from things; deafness cuts people off from people.

To see the full quote, go to page 36 in this ReadExpress (warning, this is a huge file! Sip your coffee and continue to read DeafDC.com in another tab while you wait for the file to download).
