For the past 30 years, no virtue has been more praised in these columns than "tolerance." In the same time period, no attitude has been more condemned than "intolerance."
It is time to take a look at what "tolerance" has done to America.
We have tolerated every kind of slovenly dress and have become a nation of slobs.
We have tolerated every kind of sexual behavior and reaped a harvest of deadly disease, unwed mothers and fatherless children.
We have tolerated every kind of greed in business and in our elected officials and now we have an economic nightmare.

Isn't it time to express our "intolerance" of some of these things?
