1788? I thought retarded replaced moron in the 50s

  Origin was 1788 from my little research. Point is that all of these words start out as high-minded words from well-meaning people and then some ninny comes along and tries to change the word, telling everyone that their words are bad instead of looking at the problem square in the face, however ugly or bad the problem may seem.
