JFTR, I wanted to note the difference between

"retarded" and "Downs syndrome."

One, as I'm sure you're aware, is not

necessarily the other.



But I am perhaps taking this too precisely --

it occurs to me that you may have meant

"formerly known as mongoloids" as a qualifier

for "retarded people."



If that is so, then oops! I have no issue. =^]





That's exactly the way I meant it.
