Nice topic, again. However, I personally take issue with the usage of the word "RETARD"! As a parent of a learning disabled child and past leader of a Down Syndrome charity organization, AND with the times calling for being politically correct, the word RETARD is un-acceptable. Too many connotations of which one I am not at ease with. Thus, perhaps the english majors within this forum of which I see many, could use the words learning disabled, intelectually challenged, but not Retard. I dont know about your particular state but here in Michigan the Knights of Columbus finally changed their yellow reflective vests from saying "help the Mentally Retarded" to the "handicapped " which is an improvement. <br /> <br />Please be careful of word usage. I am not that sensitive or always politcally correct myself, but "retard" is not acceptable. The word is close to an expletive in my book and perhaps the forum administrators might see likewise. <br />Thanks for hearing me out.
