We need more intolerance. This is the opposite of what we are usually told, but think about it for a moment: being tolerant about everything might not be such a good maxim after all. In fact it might be dangerous and immoral not to be intolerant sometimes. Perhaps what matters, is what you are being intolerant about, and the character, or manner of the way that you communicate?After all...
Mother Teresa was intolerant of poverty.
Nelson Mandela was intolerant of apartheid.
Martin Luther King was intolerant of racism.
Jesus was intolerant of bigotry.

What should you be more intolerant of?
