"Is there a group in existence that isn't worthy of ridicule from time to time, or often?"

Many groups like that. How about kids with cerebral palsy? While they do get ridiculed, I can't imagine why anyone would do that. What about kids with Down's Syndrome? You find them amusing?

Rush should leave illnesses alone. There's plenty for him to ridicule without picking on folks who have problems over which they have no control.

I agree. Rush has never been known for his sensitivity, of course.

Bill Gates and possibly Einstein had Asperger's. It's on the very, very mild end of the autism spectrum. My son, however, is on the other end. He has severe limitations and will probably never speak, and will always live with my wife and me. I wouldn't wish either condition on anyone's child, but Aspies are usually able to function in society.
