Can Science Vanquish the Small-Mindedness and Bigotry of Social Conservatism?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

4. No, the people who are the most socially conservative are often the most

economically frightened. They're the suburbanites and small town people who are afraid that their hard-earned "American Dream" lifestyle is endangered.

Since no one seems to be providing easy answers for their economic fears, they cling to social conservatism.

I've noticed that people who hate are invariably miserable people all around. They're not only bigoted; they're angry in general.

Fix the economic problems, and people will be too happy to obsess about other people's lives.
