DH and I were having a discussion a few days ago about tolerance, and how the definition has changed.
August 22 from World Around the Net:
This is true tolerance: you put up with people who believe things you
disagree with. Today's false tolerance is partly a belief that you
cannot question certain activities, and partly that you have to adhere
to a certain set of approved concepts and beliefs or are hateful.
Tolerance has been destroyed by a systematic effort to redefine the term
from something essentially beneficial to society to a tyranny of ideas.
The entire article is good.
