Ahm. I don't mean to be rude, but you seem to have made a grammatical error here, and as a non-native English speaker, I thought you might appreciate a correction. The verb "to have prejudices" is quite irregular, and in fact only resembles its infinitive in the third person: "he has prejudices". The second person form is "you have biases". (The first-person form is, of course, "I have keen insight into general truths.") Just FYI. :) -- Mark J. Reed <markjreed@...>
