Tolerance is in favour of diversity and humanity.
The European countries have learned to value the cultural, social, political and biological diversity of the world. However, the superpower of the world, the United States of America, does not only refuse to value the biodiversity of nature (Rio de Janeiro Agreement), but has very little tolerance for alternative cultures or governments in other parts of the world. If the most powerful leader divides the world only in two in good and evil the chances for diversity and sustainability of the world are truly miserable.
It is a tragedy that the superpower of the world, whose rise was originally based on the cultural, social and technological richness of its people, has now gone into a campaign to monopolise the world with its homogenous culture and ideas. This has led commentators such as Michael Moore and many other Americans to asking the same question: Why has America become so totalitarian? Isn't this stupidity? How does an illiterate become an Idiot-In-Chief through electoral fraud? How can a war be justified with lies and false evidence? How can we tolerate a president like Bush if he does not tolerate other opinions, religions or countries?
The American president John F. Kennedy once said: Let us make the world safe for diversity! Such political vision is what world leaders most need today. Instead, diversity is being destroyed deliberately. War and globalisation are bad and awful because they are against humanity and diversity. The intolerant political behaviour of President Bush can only be described with following words: an awful stupidity. |

I concur - Kerry had a quote that was important to me..and I believe "us" in the 2nd debate and he reiterated it in the 3rd.
Quote:
But I can't take what is an article of faith for me and legislate it for someone who doesn't share that article of faith, whether they be agnostic, atheist, Jew, Protestant, whatever. I can't do that.
End of discussion. A vote for Kerry is a vote for the above...and against the fundamentalism of the Bush approach. In Vino Veritas |
