Yes it’s a delightful pet rock. Maybe you could find a littler one?

O.k. if you can carry it then we’ll pack it.

Oopsie, looks like that one won’t be flying “international.”

If by any chance you happen to have a free mo [and which one of us doesn't?] perhaps you could pop along and take a peek at this video about the use of the word “Retard” in the upcoming [already here?] movie called “Tropic Thunder.”

Then, if you still have additional mo’s, you might nip over in support of “ASAN” who are hoping to discourage the use of the “R” word. You might always just comment ‘Rah, Rah, Rah’ instead.

I know that free mo’s are few and far between at this time of year but you can find the “back story and advice” if you nip over here to “Patricia E Bauer’s” discussion.

The comments there are also especially interesting.

You may even wish to add your own opinion to the list, one way, or alternatively the other.

Best wishes
p.s. for a more comprehensive spectrum “Liz Ditz” from “I Speak of Dreams” covers the “start” to present development regarding the “R” word.
