Intolerance

Hilton Als isn't much of a theatre critic, but he's even worse as a political commentator. In reviewing a revival of Tea And Sympathy (why bother to revive it? but that's another post) he shares his wisdom: "That we live in a country that is, for the most part, intolerant of difference is a given." A given.

Actually, Hilton, we live in a country where, for the most part, tolerance of difference is a given. If you want to see intolerance, I could point you to a lot of other places, the most obvious being a mirror.
