So Congress is busy at work again, doing REALLY important things. While people are suffering with the lack of employment they've spent time changing the English language. They have removed the word "retard" from a list of approved words apparently. Yes, seriously important business is being done in Congress. Honestly, when is the last time you called a handicapped person a retard? Oh..you haven't? Me either.
When will those who believe that removing a label removes the problem its use creates?
The tail is wagging the dog in this case. Please everyone, start repeating to your children what our parents said to us..."Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me." It is ALWAYS the intent of how a word is used and no matter how many times you remove a word or try to make it PC to never use it, people still use it.
