Last night a friend of ours told my husband that he had been reading my blog. And during this reading, he found me to be lacking in tolerance. Well, he might be right. I am intolerant - of those who do not exercise tolerance themselves.
I will always stand by the right of a person to hold an opinion - however horrible that opinion might be. Just don't force that opinion upon me. If we have mutual respect and agree that thinking people may differ, that's tolerance. And that's all I ask of myself and all I ask of others. (To be perfectly honest, I may not always respect the other person but will still stand for their right to be wrong.)
