coreolyn,

To my mind, ignorance can be corrected through education and experience; intolerance can't.

Or, stealing another cliche, "you can lead a man to logic, but you can't make him think."

P.S. Amadeus is one of my all-time favorite plays and movies. Historically inaccurate, but still worthwhile, even nearly twenty years later. I *want* to play Salieri some day.

See now my backgrounds a bit more blue collar. I learned that cliche as:

You can lead a camel to water, but unless you've got two bricks to smash his balls between he won't drink it.

Hmmm, I think that must be the way merlyn learned it too -- just kidding merlyn!
