I had already read it and didn't see anything compelling. Basically it says its hard to maintain a tolerant cohesive society with intolerant nincompoops running around.

We have intolerant groups on both sides of many issues. Are we going to censor all of them?

Abortion, Gun Rights and Religious Freedom are low hanging fruit. To my mind, as a nation we are becoming less tolerant rather than more tolerant across the board. One of the reasons I have largely disconnected from Social Media.
