You have chosen to issue a preemptive apology to me for your proclamation that most of intolerance comes from christians.  I don't know why you are issuing this apology to me.  I am confused on that.

Also, you never directly answered my question as to whether a conversation like that between Norman Lear and Reagan could happen today.  I challenge you read the discussion again.  Try not to focus on whether or not you agree with one side or the other.  Focus instead on the level of respect (or tolerance)  that each person gave the other.
