I love your directness. By changing a name for instance, you don't change the actions or nature of people. Retarded has always been a loaded word and we used it often when I was growing up to make fun of each other. Assuming the name change was to bring respect back to the language and get away from the heavy connotations it only worked temporarily.
Folks just end up making fun of new terms instead of old.
It feeds the stand up comics. You also said that you saw this as in alignment with Quinn's teachings. There is no right way to live. What a powerful and simple message. Thanks for reaching out.
