[ExI] Tolerance

[jameschoate at austin.rr.com]

I've a more fundamental question, how are you defining 'tolerance'?

Definition of Society

        -       The cornerstones of any society are
                -       toleration
                -       self-defense
        -       A set of rules, codified or not, and expectations,
                expressed or not, which regulate both the individual
                and inter-personal activities of same
        -       Societies may be radically different in content and
                yet share the same geography
        -       The statics and dynamics of a society are governed by
                the physics of reality and the psychology of the
                individual (and it's absolute range)
        -       The expectations of societies can be in direct opposition
        -       Violence does not ensue from opposition but from lack
                of toleration of opposition
        -       This applies to all levels of societies and seems to be
                psychology independent (in other words, all life
                seems to follow it)
        -       As a result, stability can be looked upon as a measure
                of tolerance
