As tolerance erodes so does our civil society

Why is it that as our society says it values"diversity" we tolerate less of it? We need more people with a charitable and tolerant attitude towards those whose views differ. Whether it's a photographer who declines to participate in a gay marriage ceremony or a CEO that holds traditional views on the subject or an IMF executive, Republican ex Secretary of State or critic of Islam, we need to respect and listen to each other rather than demand that they be silenced.

"With malice towards none, with charity towards all" is a good watchword.
