Honestly, I'm not troubled by your many- I knew what you meant. And there are too many of them, however many there are.

But looking on the bright side, they have very little power and are generally reviled now. It will be a better day when no one holds that point of view, but I'm not sure such days will ever come. I mean there will always be a section of our population that enjoys torturing people, or having sex with children, and there will probably always be a small segment of people that hates based on race, and hates enough to kill- but it's ugly and horrible, and I think more people feel that way than ever have done in the history of our country- so that's a good thing? Although we still have far to go.

<Would "a bunch" be more acceptable than "many"?,

If you are looking for collective nouns I got a few suggestions

Sounder (of Pigs)

Rhumba (of Rattlesnakes)

or my personal favorite

congress (of baboons ) ;>)

Would "a bunch" be more acceptable than "many"?

When I saw Bob's comment, I almost posted to him asking what problem he saw in it, then looked at the "many" one more time and decided to stay out of it because it was ambiguous.
