Names do not matter, despite what the Left would have us believe. To be retarded - held back, or late - is neither more nor less bad than being disabled. Indeed one could argue that to be disabled is considerably worse in fact than to be retarded, which implies that one may eventually catch up.

I have a child that is mildly autistic. He is socially "retarded." Though he is very sweet, and highly intelligent at 13 (off the charts on standardized tests), he still can not tie his own shoes, or ride a bike, or properly address others in a social situation. He is "retarded." He is "slow" to adapt to any change in his surroundings. I get a true case of the red-ass when I hear the "touchy-feely" crowd use their political position to attempt to change the terms. You are right! It's different if you scream "RETARD!" at some insensitive goofball. But, if a person is truly retarded, it is offensive to thinking people to ban the term. Heck, we'll have to change "retard" as a musical tempo term. It will never stop. Al, I appreciate your thoughts on this. I have a child that is mildly autistic.
