I have always found it amazing the ways that people create to justify
intolerance. Next thing I will start hearing is that the black populous
was intolerant because they did not agree with the Klan! The Klan acted
in the exact same manor as the various other groups opposing acceptance
of the idea that one who is a homosexual is actually to be treated as a
human. This presents the question: Who is really the one who is
intolerant. United Way for being intolerant of intolerance or BS of A
for igniting a round of intolerance? My vote Goes with BS of A.
If you want to apply the Live and Let live line then why not explain US
Policy for a brief moment. US foreign policy is far from that. In fact
rarely does negative US policy ever change a country.
