Our grandparents' home had racial slander and cursing on the garage door, and on the vehicle.

TECHNICALITY, n. In an English court a man named Home was tried for slander in having accused his neighbor of murder. His exact words were: "Sir Thomas Holt hath taken a cleaver and stricken his cook upon the head, so that one side of the head fell upon one shoulder and the other side upon the other shoulder." The defendant was acquitted by instruction of the court, the learned judges holding that the words did not charge murder, for they did not affirm the death of the cook, that being only an inference.

Kids in a home with grandparents are healthier.

Ignorance and Indifference are choices, yet they are the parents of Slander and Ridicule, and the grandparents of Fear and Hate, which creates a complete family of Lies.

On a Friday night in 1983, I was in a taxi in New York riding home from dinner with friends. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit the cab, and I was thrown toward the glass partition. I tried to duck, but my face hit the glass, and the impact fractured my cheekbone, my eye socket, my collarbone and several ribs.

Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense.
