A Conscious Community Eagerly Promoting Tolerance
We created this site
in the hopes that we could start a movement
where people would start to practice tolerance and acceptance of others.
This Site will define what tolerance and intolerant behavior is,
give links to organizations that are working towards our goal,
provide people with a place where they can give ideas or acquire them,
and finally to help people start to be conscious of themselves,
their behavior and to be responsible for it.
Discrimination is a conscious act
and even though the motives behind it may be unconscious,
we do make choices in how we treat others,
so this is a forum to get you to start to understand
the subtle forms of intolerance
as well as look at the choices you do make.
Laws alone cannot secure freedom of expression;
in order that every man present his views without penalty,
there must be a spirit of tolerance in the entire population.
-- Albert Einstein, Out of My Later Years, 1950
Racist, sexist, and homophobic thoughts cannot,
alas, be abolished by fate
but only by the time-honored methods of persuasion,
education, and exposure to the other guy's

"Teach Diversity With a Smile", Time magazine, 4/8/91
