Imus's comments

I agree with Al Sharpton, Imus should be fired. His comments were reprehensible. Those words are ugly and show a level of insensitivity unimagined. I grew up at a time when they were used in conversation and even at ten years old I found them disgusting. It is time to delete them from our language. We cannot heal wounds if words continue to reopen them. There is no humor in demeaning words. They are just not funny. Words are my tools and I understand that in using them I have a certain responsibility to use them carefully, like any other tool. Imus needs to learn this lesson.
