Please take a look at this piece. It brought tears to my eyes and was written so eloquently.

I just read that. very good!! I sent it off to people.
Great article - but so heartbreaking. I honestly cannot believe people raise their kids to talk like that. It about kills me everytime someone utters the R word...
