I care about the individual welfare of all these unfortunate children. I hope advances are made in helping them thrive and have a quality of life that is meaningful.

I'm able to compartmentalize the value and worth intrinsic to being a human being, no matter what challenges with they are brought into the world with,
against some if the common 'words' for intellectual deficit. I loved my 'kids'. And cared for them tenderly.
I would never even think of any of those 'words' around a person with such a disability. Those words are not what THEY are, at all.

I don't think any of those words should be used against any one but, Republicans because they are born with a fully functioning mind and choose to be limited, slow to progress, and fail to mature, be ignorant on purpose, they embody what most consider slurs against the subgeneticly endowed. Republicans, are those words not my kids.

Well Alright ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2012 #1
