This is one point of difference between the United States and Australia. The other night there was a loud-mouthed Aussie lady on Aussie TV declaring that she was intolerant of intolerance. No one pulled her up for being self-contradictory, or having things both ways.
I'm not intolerant of people who practice intolerance inconsistently on a personal whim, as long as they are as open and honest about their hypocrisy as that lady, and don't mind when others pull their ideas to pieces.
