big·ot (bgt)
n.

One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

It seems to me we are all of us partial to our own "groups" or...."politics" and most of us are intolerant although the degree varies. While E is expressing a strong opinion based on observation, I doubt she is intolerant in life, which is different than putting forth her ideas here, especially when she has been asked about something. If intolerance is to be defined as putting forth your own opinion as right and correct, and not being "accepting" of the alternative opinions (and perhaps even going so far as to call the alternative "wrong" or to call the adherents to other opinions names), should we not call you a bigot also? Perhaps we should simply all call ourselves bigots and be done with it? I think we all have our own opinions. We are none of us very accepting of opinions that directly oppose our own. It is either bigotry for all or for none (imo).
