And being judgemental is what the cult of tolerance cannot abide. Did you ever take the Myers-Briggs test? If so, I bet you come out either ENTJ or INTJ. I come out either ENTP or INTP. Very strong P (perceiving), almost no J (judgment). I hate making judgments. Keep collecting information until the bitter end. Waffle for years over what color to paint the bathroom, or what kind of flooring to put in the foyer. Oh, and I am a splitter, not a lumper. I see people as individuals, not as types. I'm told that I am tolerant to a fault. That's just me. So I don't have any problem at all saying "Osama bin Laden is bad" because he not only thought bad thoughts, he acted on them, and caused others to act, while the Islamist cultists who have their enclave in Virginia are not bad because whatever their ideas, they haven't acted on them yet, and maybe never will. I wouldn't mind your explaining your point of view to my children because you are intelligent and think with precision, even though we don't alway agree. But most public school teachers are not as bright as you. Better they stick with platitudes. My kids will learn the harder ideas at home.
