I mean exclusive in suggesting their way is uniquely correct. The right to even suggest your way is right and anothers is wrong, comes under fire from those trumpetting "tolerance" yet in the process the trumpets are intolerant. [/QUOTE]You may feel that way because you feel your beliefs are under attack, but that simply is not the case. And as one "trumpeting" tolerance, I am not saying you need to change your beliefs that you follow "The One True Path". I do request that you (or more to the point, those even more hidebound) accept the fact not everyone believes as you do and not try to force your beliefs upon them through law and let them live according to their own beliefs as they will or face the stigma of being labeled "Intolorant".

As for a previous post of yours, if you don't know how I am defining Liberty, read up on John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, H D Thoureau, Emmerson, Uncle Walt Whitman, Voltaire, Ben Franklin and the like. My concept of Liberty is not defined by "things I agree with" but by "I am free to do what I want, provided that it does not impinge on the Liberties of another" (I don't even want to hear nonsense from you about murder or rape or abuse for they all obviously fail the second half of the clause).
