Originally Posted By queenbee That is hardly a news article. The author speculates that people will be upset the words "mentally retarded" are in a new bill from the House of Representatives. I'm sure someone will be upset but I can't see it causing flap in mainstream organizations. (Just a word of caution. Some of the comments below the article are absolutely vile.)
