Here's a
great article about tolerance when tolerance means learning to agree to disagree such as in the case of the McCaskill/Gallaudet snafu as a result of a very public witch hunt.
Practicing true tolerance requires disagreement; it requires dissension.
But as the administrators at Gallaudet prove, our society has discarded
real tolerance and has replaced it with a kind that says, “You disagree
with me? Then you’re intolerant.”
It necessitates complete neutrality, and it limits people from picking sides on social issues.
This is dangerous.
It's better to learn tolerance than to automatically brand people as bigoted merely for disagreeing.

Dangerous indeed. That's what PC has become. PC shuts ppl up.
Disagreement is not intolerance, it's just another point of view.
And just because someone else disagrees, it doesn't mean that he's discriminating against ya. He's coming from another perspective or different world.
Which means nothing is ever as black-and-white as one would like to think.
Who knows, your brain may open up to possibilities unseen before.
