"This country and this state are built on diversity of opinion and people with all different ideas makes America great . . . I think people who have issues with people of different opinions should move to another place because this is what this country is all about."
Gov. Benson, of N.H.

Translation: Diversity of opinion is a great thing. And if you disagree with me, you should leave.

Defining a person based upon your belief system is a way of denying that person any agency or autonomy.

One of my favorite quotes. I don't fully understand it, but I find a lot of truth to it.

How so? in several ways.

First, foolish consistency leads to fundamentalism.
