If names will never hurt me, why aren't we allowed to say nigger any more?

Proof positive that names hurt more than blows. Blows are visible and open, they leave a mark. Name calling (and I've been called a few) is invisible, it is hard to prove unless you have a handy tape recorder, and they cut sharper and deeper than a surgeon's scalpel.

Helen - set up that site, whereever you are - do that training thing. If you can just stop one person from feeling isolated and suicidal, then it is worth every penny, every hour you put into it.
