Disrespect

Disrespect is rampant.

You get orthodox scientists and their fellow-travellers who disrespect anything that is labelled as "non-scientific" and the people who believe in those ideas and phenomena.

Spiritually-minded people who disrespect more literalist religious types and atheists.

Fundamentalist religious types who disrespect the non-fundamentalist religious.

Thin people disrespecting fat people. Rich disrespecting poor. Hockey fans disrespecting basketball. And on and on it goes. . .

When does this epidemic of disrespect ever bring about anything of value?
