Thanks for the article. Liberal ideologues are aware of the limits of "tolerance" linguistically, and I've seen people suggest changing the verbiage from "tolerance" to "acceptance," which brings a whole new slew of moral debates (if you care to swim in those semantic waters).

I feel like lying in wait in your father's critique is the "tolerant of intolerance" argument. I always refer to Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. I'm curious if you have feelings either way on that idea.

Another good read. Sheds a light on the confusion we see in society today. Has this leaning toward tolerance allowed what used to be considered the not normal to become normal?
