While it feels good in the short term to banish those whose views you don't agree with, making some kind of socially-approved thought purity a requirement for employment, or any one of the untold ways of socially or financially participating in society is an unbelievably bad path to embark on culturally.

We need to return our cultural trajectory back to the intent of "live and let live" as a cultural value, otherwise there is a dystopian future close ahead.
