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.”

My Various Witty Remarks

Follow @sillygwailo on Twitter!

  • Third day in a row at City Square for @vanjazzfest, this time with @jmv to see the Shannon Scott Trio.  http://flic.kr/p/6BRUyD
  • @vanmega pants are a challenge no matter what you're doing.
  • How do awkward nerds do at SXSW? #couchbeers
  • @jordanbehan I'm going to hurtle downtown for #couchbeers. If you hear something crashing into the Strutta building, that's me and my bike.
  • Is the bike parking situation on the Vancouver Art Gallery block really as bad as I think it is?
