mysteria - humans are incomplete without it but this relentless notion
that we have about mouthing the words while our actions demonstrate quite the opposite beomes a little nauseous after awhile. We all sound like Miss America beauty pageant finalists; "all I want for Christmas is world peace, good will towards all men and for everyone to love each other."

No, No, No...

Talion -- yeah no kidding -- and too many people will live their entire
 lives without getting it. Prevailing societal attitudes evolve but I don't think there is another example of a prevailing mindset that has been as resilient as intolerance. And those who squawk the loudest, need to change the most.

I fear tolerance is unattainable because so few actually know the definition. Somehow, many foolishly believe "tolerance" is an endorsement. Try and teach them and you're branded a lily-livered, namby-pamby, limp-wristed, fascist liberal. It's a no-win situation.
