someone did think to make them accessible, but the thinking and advocating 
fell on absolutely deaf ears.
which begs the question of why our advocating is so ineffective most of the 
time?  Deaf advocates have managed to make closed captioning a standard in 
the tv and movy industry, yet dvs and talking menus haven't even begun to 
make inroads in the industry.
likely something to do with the steady bickering and lack of solidarity in 
the blind community of north america...too many political agendas and not 
enough advocacy going on for the things we all want.
There wasn't some organization of the deaf fighting against closed 
captioning when it was being fought for.  they didn't have an NFD thinking 
it could dictate how deaf people should live, work and entertain themselves 
or how they should act within society or how to socialize themselves.
