KhunLA Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Sadly, not true, but does open a few eyes. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime.” ...
