Dealing With Difficult Fanatics – Turmoil In The Middle East

September 13, 2012

“The words of others don’t dishonor your beliefs. Only your behavior can do that. Free speech includes hateful speech. And tolerance for it doesn’t mean anyone likes or approves of hate speech. It means that hateful people can express their hatred without actually acting on it, and so it serves as a release valve. More to the point, my mother taught me that two wrongs don’t make a right.”
