Deaf people are selling their birthright for a "mess of pottage"!

Some Deaf people's comments about ASL and Deaf culture caused me to recall the Biblical story of Jacob and Esau and the "mess of pottage". In the vlog, I compare this story to Deaf people and outline what they are getting when they give up their linguistic and cultural birthright.

mmmm... I find it interesting to observe people telling a story and they are ones who do that anyway.

That's the reason I'm going to start my own business. That's my solution. lol.

[DrDonGCSUS]

@mrjuliosays Good for you!  What kind of business?

Very profound, Don. I remember learning that Biblical story in the 5th grade. Somehow I must have focused on the drama of the story at the time and not remembered the metaphorical implications.
