I believe we ARE soul and that animals are soul too.

The word midget has been around as long as I have. Here is the def according to the net.

Midget is a term used to describe an exceptionally short person . The terms "midget" and "dwarf" are often used synonymously, as both terms mean someone who has been short in stature since birth, but those terms were not originally synonyms.


I read that LPA is trying to get the media to stop use of the word "midget." Hope they can.

Hi Starshine. Just a thought here: There are many words that have been around a very long time, but if the people whom a word describes feel it is a derogatory one, then I think we should honor that feeling. For instance, the word "retarded" has been changed to mentally challenged. Indian has been replaced with Native American--and on and on. It is a matter of evolution, I suppose.

I'm not an "old lady", I'm a "senior citizen." (But I am actually an old lady. And proud of it!)
