ot That's so nice. I really love what you believe. I am tolerant of even those beliefs I do not like, but yours are very nice indeed. This makes me think of something along this line. I was at a highschool today speaking to an audience of junior and senior students- and one girl asked "What can we do about all the hate on campus." All the adults went on and on about intervention and counseling, etc etc. But I had a little different take on that. Of course we need education so people have the opportunity to learn about each other. But if people really want to hate each other, our constitution gives them every right to do that. They just can't ACT on that hate in a way that hurts others. And I said thank goodness we live in a country like that- because it allows most people to be very wonderful in their diversity- if a few people take advantage of freedom so they can hate other people, it's a small price to pay for that freedom as long as we make it very clear that hateful actions are going to punished most severely. After writing this I am not sure why your post reminded me of that.
