"retarded"

yes, i know this is my "soapbox," but here i am again yelling to the world about this word. my son is mentally retarded. that does NOT in any way mean that he is stupid, worthless, messed up, or any other negative word. so if there's road construction that makes me wait and wait and wait, it is NOT ok to say, "Man, this is so retarded!" NOT OK!!!!!! (and that's just one tiny little example -- i could go on and on, but i'm sure everyone gets the point)

warning: if you know my baby or anyone else who is mentally retarded, or if you have a beating heart in your chest that does not have icicles hanging off it, have a box of kleenex handy!
