Fantastic idea, with the words ringing only too true in too many situations!!! Brilliant idea, and so smart that they can be used for any form of hate. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-26868209114961302812010-06-21T12:37:16.249-04:002010-06-21T12:37:16.249-04:00This is great!

In my ongoing experimentation of how to convince people that yes, the r-word really is hurtfu, I've had some success using a variation on: "you say it's PC crap perpetrated by liberal do-gooders, but when the gays asked us to stop using "faggot," we stopped, and when the blacks asked us to stop using "nigger," we stopped. And now we know that people with intellectual disabilities are, THEMSELVES, asking us to stop using "retard." So I'm stopping - will you?Cynthia F.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-2731552373499902952010-06-18T13:27:27.754-04:002010-06-18T13:27:27.754-04:00This makes me so happy!This makes me so happy!ivanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694244417925801824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-12079387851617264522010-06-17T21:58:53.962-04:002010-06-17T21:58:53.962-04:00Hi Dave, I thought this would very inspirational ...Hi Dave, I thought this would very inspirational and thought you may enjoy.

I'd be really interested in hearing how the cards are received by others at the festivities.<br />I've attend Pride in Toronto, though not recently. I know I would have been THRILLED to see a group like yours marching and celebrating.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790763688701278823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-14677703956228694082010-06-17T04:46:56.834-04:002010-06-17T04:46:56.834-04:00I'm not gay.

If you have the courage to value difference, then you have the capacity to create radical care. Care that goes past supporting the body, care that embraces the spirit. I got up early this morning for a glass of water, checked my email, then saw this on Dave's blog. Goodbye sleep.
