30. Thank You
I agree to a point.

Yes. Poverty does foster ignorance and higher levels of intolerances due to primarily a fear of the unknown.

But I think we need to be very careful about giving bigotry a pass on the basis that it's proponents are poor.

What disturbs me about some of the comments that I"ve seen on this issue come not from some jackleg preachers in the back of beyond but rich, well heeled leaders of mega churches who have congregations of which a lot of the participants are definitely middle class.

Thanks again for the compliment
