Andy and Carol: I dislike Skrewdriver and I don't think hatred is
"tolerable"--but freedom of speech is! [You opened up a whole new can of
worms there. . .] Furthermore I think those who "hate" Nazis are just
continuing the circuit--"part of the problem", as you worded it--and those
who dub skinheads Nazis [and vice versa] should, er, check themselves.
I know erstwhile Nazis who have converted with the help of
"fencewalkers"--without communication, nothing could have transformed
them!--one won't learn tolerance if their social contact is limited to fellow
Nazis. You have to be empathetic sometimes; lots of racists possess a weak
resolve as concerns hatred. If you don't make an attempt--pressure them to
justify their prejudices--then you can consider yourself "part of the
problem."
