It's a real paradox. How does a tolerant society deal with fervent believers of an intolerant ideology?

      Thanks for the link. I would have been shocked if I had been the first person to have thought about the Tolerance Paradox. Karl Popper brings me full circle in a way. He was among the first political science books I read as a teenager and about the only thing I remember was that it was dry and boring at the time.

      Given Poppers defense of liberty my real shock here is that the "Open Society Foundation", created by George Soros, claims to be inspired in name and purpose by Popper's book. Quite an irony here. A real live Bond villain is using his looted billions as his evil genius attempt to engineer the end of America . Soros is destroying America's very foundations while saying he's using a champion of freedom as his guide!
