is the word midget now considered an insult?

I have to admit I used it the other day and than though, oh, I should not have said that I should have said short person. I think that it was an acceptable word most of my life but not now. i was talking about low ceilings and a house built for not tall people. Luckily, the guy i said it to was my age and did not flinch.

edited for typos.

when it was bad news and it is hidden

how can we discuss it. I realize that it is a troll article but it is also a political salvo and there is no way to take it down in the internets,. It is out there, shouldn't we discuss it and resolve what to do when the attacks get nasty? This is going to be one disgusting election to be sure, still we have to be aware and have answers at the ready.

Or is it just me and it would be better to pretend it is not out there? Strikes me they put tehe attack at a liberal source instead of the usual conservative blogs to strike.

Alone watchers?

this is the most real reality program ever.
I swear, I don't know how long it will last but some of these bear things seem really close calls. I can't believe they are only 5 days in and so many have left, but with cougars, bears and rain, I can see it happening. I wonder if that one guy will finish his cabin
