Weaning....

What is wean?

- to detach from a source of dependence.

In other words, to let go and not be dependent on others. Get rid of that pacifier!

Barry said it in response to the Wisconsin protest, the closing of deaf schools, interpreter services closing, and so on.




Jerome Cain said it....(starting at 0:40 seconds)



Russell warned that unless schools for the deaf improve with better innovative academic programs and beat state academic requirements they'll soon become dinosaurs.



Gallaudet University may need to wean itself, too, eventually.

Of course, some may disagree with the whole weaning concept thinking it's cruel, never living the life of a rancher, when it's a fact of life separating calves from their mother cows as part of the whole ranching business. Whoever said that it's supposed to be a pleasant or uneventful process?

Life isn't a bed of roses.

Let's stop with the namby pamby excuses and learn to be creative, innovative and ground-breaking in order to thrive and compete successfully without the need to be overly dependent.
