It is a great read.. I really enjoyed it.

I like this defintion of tolerance. Tolerance is the practice of not persecuting those who may believe, behave or act in ways of which one may not approve.

I can see how tolerance would seem to have an air of superiority. But ultimately understanding and acceptance has to start somewhere. You can not accept something you don't understand. Nor can you open you mind enough to understand something which you do not first tolerate.
