Because if voltaire was right, or whoever said it, this business of not agreeing with you, but defending with my life your right to be disagreeable, that seems to be rooted in my ability to tolerate ideas that i find deplorable. But why then should i have to accept them? If acceptance becomes the bench mark? Well, then the standard is so high that no one's ever going to be on the same page, and we are going to be stuck in this tautology of binary choices and pushing the fat guy on the trolley track. Wer would it that immage luc ont haunt me? Gregg, i got to tell you, why does it always have to be fasho. One

thing that i feel like a lot of people get wrong about american history, and this is particular common on college campuses, is this idea that america wasn't very divert back when it was colonial by modern conceptions of diversity, where it's just overwhelmingly race then. Yet, you have an argument there. But what you have to remember is that were the part of the country that i come from, new england, there were people who were literally fighting wars with each other, wars to the death, over religion, who then came ver, and it was either them or their parents or their grandparents, and then had to be fellow citizens with people who they believed were condemning themselves, and anyone who listened to them to hell. The intensity of the disagreement was amazing. But none the less, we could still be citizens together. So like the idea that kind of like it was just easier before sno, wasn't way easier before its this is always going to be hard. But if you're starting from the point of view that that person is just again, stupid or evil, and therefore you can completely dismiss them, then, but that maybe you are. But thr a beamean way to sayt than your being the intolerant one, than your being the close minded oneh

your brain is enormous.
