Hateful Fact

Interesting fact:  In 1780, Pennsylvania became the FIRST state to abolish Slavery in America.  In 2010, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified 36 hate groups in the state of Pennsylvania; It's the seventh highest in the nation. In the United States there are 1,000 identified hate organizations.  In the end, Pennsylvania is a great state to visit, but I just wanted to share this for the sake of information and history.  Now, you can Smile.  Peace~

I can't imagine joining any organization that bases its foundation on hate. Thanks for sharing.
