The problem with tolerance is, it has its' limits like anything else. Someone, somewhere, is bound to do something or something to upset you, and you CAN'T just walk away from it. If, for example, my family were in danger or threatened, I would become a very intolerant person . Some things for me are sacrosanct and my family's safety and well being is one of those things. The tolerant "summer of love" ideal is all very well but would never work (if only it could) because we are human with human frailities. I can't think of anyone I know who has not at some point in his or her life, given way to intolerance.
