I wanted to add a comment about what Albert wrote about the issues of political correctness in the USA and the ridicule of stuttering on YouTube. It is shocking to see and hear of these events...I think we have a long way to go in this country with acceptance of others' differences. Recently, the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television, Sheila Johnson, was videotaped mocking the stuttering of a candidate for Governor in Virginia. I was shocked that a woman of her position would not realize how ignorant, inappropriate and cruel her actions were. This was shown on all the major news outlets. Hopefully this negative event will result in increased awareness about stuttering and effect some positive change.
