FLAMING old lady liberal here.  And what exactly does "liberal" mean anyway?  Last time I looked at the dictionary it meant someone who is TOLERANT.  Is tolerance a bad thing?  Yeah, I guess it is if it's tolerating something someone else doesn't like.  I guess we all have to be on the same hate page in life or we get labeled "liberal."  That's okay.  I'm never going to jump on that train to hell with you and your buddies.  We have one planet to live on at the moment, and it's made up of all types of people, places and things.  And people are reproducing like there's no tomorrow.  There will come a time when tolerance of things you might personally be uncomfortable with becomes necessary, because you will be standing in the corner twitching at all the variety there is in the world and you'll either learn to accept and tolerate, or you will live a miserable existence of fear and...well, twitching.  Or go the way of the dinosaurs.  Loosen up a little, learn to embrace differences.
