Tropic Thunder- Finally, an Opinion

I have not until now directly addressed "Tropic Thunder", because I do believe that we must be careful with the word "ban" (living in a country that once banned the book Perfidy, it is easy to imagine "bans" being overdone as well.) However, I did have a LOT of problems with the language, and how they apparently never even DREAMED (Dreamworks....) that the intellectually disabled have a voice.
Anyway, me frequent commenter, and fellow blogger, FAB, has written a blog/letter that expresses a view which I share. Please "copy and paste in browser" and go have a look.

(But don't miss my first blog for today, below.)

A description of this blog

This blog is basically a diary, journal, and notes of observations. In the past it dealt mostly with the topics of special needs, especially a real view of what life is like with (and for) a teen with Down syndrome. However, since Ricki's death in August 2012, at age 17, the amount of blogging on the subject of "special needs" has decreased. Additional topics are interpersonal relationships, life in Israel, and dieting. (I have lost 75 kilos...)(And no, I did NOT have weight-loss surgery....) Also an occasional get-on-a-soapbox-and-tell-it-like-it-is personal opinion.
