Open-minded to everything, open to anything at all. Is that what it means to be tolerant today? That word is used a lot to describe how we all should be, what it takes to be a good person and a good citizen.
But actually, not one single person is completely open to absolutely every thing. Each one of us is open to some things but not open to everything.
Today's American culture is intolerant of different things than Americans used to be. It's a question of what is good, what standards should we hold up. What things from our traditions should be preserved and what traditions should be changed? We've gone through this before.
