[F.J. Mitchell]

I agree and I disagree. I Agree that tolorance is a learned virture. I agree that not all learn to be tolorant. But in my opinion, we are being intimidated these days, into being tolorent of the intolorable, or risk being branded as homophobes, bigots, racists and/or illiterate redneck moron hicks.

When truth is uttered, whether that truth is despised or embraced in loving accord by the listeners, it is still the truth, and the speaker, has nothing to apologize for.

Yeah, you and I, we are sure that the US Admin was NOT behind the 9-11 attacks - therefore it is our truth. But what is truth worth if noone believes in it?

If EVERYONE would believe that the sun goes round the earth, the truth (that the opposite is true) would be irrelevant.

What I want to express is, that I acknowledge everyone´s right to decide wether something is true or false until evidence cannot be ignored anymore. Even though I may differ with that perception, I must not tell people what they should believe in. But OTOH, I see that there are so many incidents which are so clear and proven, that no sane man could deny them (e.g. Holocaust, 9-11). And my state e.g. prosecutes people who claim that the Holocaust did not happen.

In the case of the idea that Bush may stand behind 9-11-01, those who consider this to be eventually true, have no sufficient evidence for the truth that they can believe in it. Although we know that evidence exists (because we trust our governments for that matter), we cannot give them that evidence - because that would mean too much expenditure, and they´d probably reject it ("faked").

These people distrust the media and our governments. They are lost.
