Hey John,
You are totally right, we don't accept foul or offensive language in the forum.
It's unfortunate that no one has answered you yet Scott, but freaking out won't help either. I personally have never heard of an RCA before, but after a little bit of snooping around, I found this possible solution:
Root by first installing the pdanet drivers (for adb access). And then using the kingo app, which you can get from http://www.kingoapp.com/.
It's free but closed source. You can find it via this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MiZtZCqu4k
Worked even with the 1.0.2 update installed.
I found the solution over at the XDA developer webiste. so if you are still having problems, you can check to see if there is another solution there.
