Repeating myself from a couple of places...the words used to describe differences have changed significantly during my career. <br /><br />Words contribute to societal change but I also think words FOLLOW societal change.Barbarahttp://www.therextras.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-79518293131691129872009-11-26T21:15:42.561-06:002009-11-26T21:15:42.561-06:00Such an interesting topic - the labels.

The main character has a special needs daughter who is termed a "Mongolian idiot" by the doctors (which usually referred to people with DS). It was a new term to me and quite shocking. (I hesitate to even write it here). Just goes to show how far we've come.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-26329628420263434792009-11-26T07:29:19.162-06:002009-11-26T07:29:19.162-06:00Thank you, thank you!Thank you, thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-59915231754707464432009-11-26T05:57:32.297-06:002009-11-26T05:57:32.297-06:00mama edge - you make my heart sing!
