A Very Tolerant Christmas
This Christmas, the open society is endangered not only from without, by the likes of ISIS, but also by (admittedly far smaller) threats at home. There are other forms of intolerance, infinitely less horrifying than that of jihadist bigots, that kill no one but demean us all.
