Arizona Politicians Ought to Travel a Little

I came across this quote from Mark Twain that suggests that some Arizona politicians (Brewer, Pearce, Hayworth, McCain) ought to get out a little. That might help to address some of their bigotry, xenophobia, and overall nastiness.

“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.” —Mark Twain, 1857
