As the doctor put It, "They roll oil your tongue without go ing thmngh your mind. Take tolrrnnre for Instance ... aoma ot the people who use It moat nnderstand It least." From where 1 sit, It looks like the doctor is right Hut tolerance la mighty easy to understand. After all, It Just comes down to having respect for other folks' rights. I don't mean Just in tho Mg things llko mnybo what po litical party a fellow belongs to. Hut In the little tilings, too, llko having glass of beer occa sionally. Brrms to me If every time we poke about tolerance we thought Btmut wb; It means maybe then we'd nil of na start living It anil not Jut talking bout It.
