I agree that imposing your morality on others is usually annoying for those imposed upon.

But it cuts both ways. People who love to play the victim - offence nazis, for instance - are pathetic. One should always ask, am I really upset or am I actually basking in my victimhood?

There really ought to be a wide zone of tolerance for most traditional, non-mainstream and eccentric opinions.

I guess the problems come in zero sum game territory. As a society, are we going to permit abortion choices? Are we going to allow homosexuals to adopt children? etc.

Hi Cactus Flower,

you have some really solid ideas.

the one I disagree with, is in how its framed.

"Plus - perhaps a less aggressive approach to identity politics. Don't be intolerant of sincerely held conservative morals."

Its the republicans who try to force their morals on others. Look at how they ALWAYS want to de-fund Planned Parenthood, not allow insurance companies to cover birth control, meanwhile they cover Viagra...!
Until recently, pushed aversion therapy for gays.
They push homeschooling & or charter schools, thus depleting the public school system.

Live & let live, for both sides, as long as 'you' don't try to pass laws to force 'your' morals on others.
