One of the challenges we face today is the redefinition of tolerance and intolerance. Over the last 200 years or so, but up until about 25 years ago, we were shaped by an principle attributed to Voltaire, that though he may detest what someone said, he would defend to the death his right to say it. But today, increasingly, tolerance is being described as the refusal to say that anyone is wrong.
