A Necessary Compromise
Todd, writing in November 2003 in response to my thoughts on "tolerance": “All we can really expect, if we want to live together, is that we can coexist amid disagreement. The best way to do that is to encourage tolerance not as an ideal, but as a necessary compromise that let's us have freedom of thought and the ability to live as we wish so long as that lifestyle doesn't prevent others from doing the same. I know that's pretty libertarian of me, but I also think it's the only realistic way to live in a time when thawed antiquarian freaks roam the earth.”
