	Thank you for listing your credentials.
	I suppose you think that this entitles you to have all sorts of
	opinions that wouldn't be tolerated in a white, male, heterosexual.

	Generalization does not mean bigotry (at least leagaly).
	This means that I can start up a Whites Only/ Blacks Only/
	Men Only/ Women Only/ Gay Only/ or Hetero Only club, and not
	be harrassed by the government.

	Bigotry means talking down someone just because they are part
	of a group you don't like.   Since I am male, you have already
	said that I am probably (1000 to 1) an asshole (your mama).  Now
	THATS what Alan means by being a bigot.
