Your thoughts on tolerance/intolerance are right on. No tolerant society should have to suffer intolerance to the extent that the latter is actively attempting to destroy that society, in the same way that a democracy should not have to put on the ballot a group that wants to extinguish democracy. Tolerance is not a euphemism for suicide.

By the way, I’m a straight, Republican, socially-liberal, pro-war, atheist, foreign-born Asian-American attorney in San Francisco. Oh yeah, and I’m married to a white, tree-hugging, flaming liberal, vegetarian, anti-war public interest attorney from Oklahoma. Just goes to show what a little tolerance can do.-Sung C.K.
