There is a high level of ignorance in a lot of areas in our country. I'm familiar with some rural parts of PA that are caught in a time warp. When I was young, we used to joke that some of the rural NY & PA populations went to family reunions to look for dates.

There has been a great deal of paranoia about an Islamic settlement outside the town of Hancock, which is a stone's throw from PA. Every year or two, some fearful people exposed to a fake fil on youtube plan to attack them. And, of course, there are other examples of hate and ignorance in action.

They are terrified, but their terror is largely self inflicted and so not my problem. Warpy Jun 2020 #20
