"We" are "tolerant" of homosexuals.

I wonder if "homosexuals" are tolerant of "we"?

In the equal society your religion seeks to cause division in, you don't need tolerance between trait identifiers, just tolerance between individuals.

I doubt "homosexuals" need your tolerance Joe, just respect as individuals.

Tony Blair is an interesting case. I see him as a weak war mongerer who thought he could moderate your President and ended up giving him international credibility for a time instead. For that he deserves the scorn he gets.

But I still have the photo of me shaking his hand at No.10. If I needed a cv, it would include my work advising at the cabinet office on governance in public office. I still get a bit of mileage out of describing how he was behind closed doors doing business.

You see, judging individuals on individual matters is important. One reason why I am so scathing of the sheep mentality aims of organised religion, giving people their collective view for the week from the pulpit and speaking to the media as the church.

If he wasn't wearing a fetching dress and holding his press conference in a gilded hall, do you think the media would listen to an old man with no experience of the real world? No, it's because he claims to speak for you.

I didn't demote loose cannons. I buried them.
