Mal4prez, however, earns only a frown.

Spelling is arbitrary; grammar too.

I mourn it too, Anthony, but I agree that it is an inherent flaw in our little species. People want to be “right”, and the more they are disagreed with, the more strongly they hold their views, for the most part. It’s been there since time immoral and always will be. In my opinion one sees it far more on the right than the left, but it’s CERTAINLY there on the left and everywhere else as well.

Klest,

I disagree wholeheartedly—unless you were being sarcastic. I completely believe tolerance leads to compromise and compromise leads to SUCCESS, in that it is the only way movement and improvement is accomplished, for the most part. If nobody compromises, it has to be “war” for one side’s intolerance to “win”, and nobody “wins” that way. Societies don't evolve as well without compromise.

Mal4, hee, hee, hee...I enjoyed that. Except that you misspelled “addcited”—if intentional, even more amusing; if not, you just defeated your own point, boy-o!

I agree with Rose, Anthony, and here are mine, because I think you deserve MANY of them:

Gordon, I agree with the first half, because I, too, both appreciated some of what Heinlen said and disagreed rather vociferously on other things he wrote. But you forgot to add “because he was a helluva fine writer”, which excuses many things! I disagree with Limbaugh, however, as I find little of what he says and are so irrational and intolerant that it frustrates me, given his audience swallows it whole cloth. People can DEBATE Heinlen; with Limbaugh there is no debate; his sycophants believe in him wholeheartedly and will defend him as “fair and balanced” to their dying day.

Frem, for myself I have to disagree to a degree. My education was pretty “liberal”, I grant you, but it also strongly encouraged debate and questioning. Maybe that’s a result of where I grew up and was educated, but that was the experience for me. I certainly do agree that there is a propensity for parents to foster their own beliefs on their children and in many cases to isolate them from other ways of thinking, or denigrate such to the degree that their children reject even THINKING about alternative opinions.

Mincing: Yer cute... ...I love what you bring to discussions; in some cases, it's very valuable in showing the extremes and dichotomies, in others, it just makes me smile.
