In the interest of full disclosure, I do not get my identity from my political beliefs. Over the decades, my political opinions have evolved as the culture has changed. I have family members, friends, co-workers and acquaintances who hold a variety of political views; I respect them all. Like millions of Americans, I am concerned about the polarization and uncivil discourse in this country. While we may be speaking the same words, we are attributing different meanings to these words. Let’s look up the following definitions in the dictionary.

Tolerance: A sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with our own. The act of allowing something.
