Uh, that would have been me Joe? I assume you mean MRDD? You'll be happy to know we've gone back to mentally retarded/developmentally delayed.(:+)

But in truth, Liam speaks it. As does Peter. Sorrowfully, respect, decency, and courtesy, are not requisite to free speech. Removal of hateful language? Free speech? Hmmmm.....Tell me how you can have both? Rights and liberties and the like cannot be exclusionary, but they often are. Are children granted a lberty interest under the 14th amendment? Should they have one or not. It doesn't exclude them, but they are excluded at this point in time. Can we grant free speech then only to courteous and respectful people?

Sometimes I long for a benevolent dictator......as long as he/she/it agrees with me..........
