     Tolerance is not always worthy of respect.  Tolerance      
toward behaviors suggested by words in the title above  is                                                       
not worthy of respect,  honor or support ---  because such                          
behaviors  engender  alienation  and  estrangement  almost                                        
without exception.                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                               
     Some  people seem to have  difficulty  distinguishing                                                                    
between  situations where tolerance is worthy of  respect,                                      
honor  and support ---  and other cases in which tolerance                                                               
is not worthy of respect,  honor and support.   How are we                                      
to recognize the differences?                                     
                                                                                                                               
     When  behaviors engender alienation and  estrangement                                        
almost  without  exception  ---  it is  not  kind,   wise,                                                                     
prudent  or  proper to be tolerant toward such  behaviors.                                                       
The proper responses toward such behaviors do not  include                                  
the  same kinds  of  behaviors.   We cannot mitigate   any               
kind   of  behavior  by engaging in more of that  kind  of                                                       
behavior.

                10.  Sexual prejudices.
                11.  Emotional immaturity.

                14.  Mis-information.                                                                                          
                15.  Collusions.                                                   
                16.  Dishonesty.

     Such  intolerance does not merit  respect,  honor  or  
support.    We  may prudently,  wisely and  graciously  be                                                                     
intolerant of such intolerance.
