Re: Meat, Morrissey and Mein Führer.
It IS in our best interest to be tolerant, isn't it? Because intolerance, in the face of things outside one's control, is actually doing a disservice to ourselves--our well being. Those who anger/irritate you, conquer you. But, there are situations when tolerance is not desirable, or even acceptable--even when change seems improbable and efforts, futile. Radical Islam and Sharia law are two examples. They should be opposed and not tolerated on any level. I am not a moral relativist. Some things are flat out wrong. Period.
I think that's a fair summary of my position. Although I'd love to see society evolve to no longer need or want religion (or animal based products ), I just don't see it happening hence I'll take the lesser of two evils and embrace the live and let live philosophy.
