So I'm back in Atlanta, and I think these next few days are going to be busy indeed... compilers is due on *shudder* Thursday, and I need to get stuff done for research Really Soon, and I need to get going on that dad-blammed NLU project (but that's going to be really cool, actually -- we're totally going to do machine learning techniques and train our agent on Atlanta Latino so's it can do automated translation...)... and ...

I feel good. I'm ready to get down to business.

And I think it turns out that my mother [livejournal.com profile] dramamamalama is more tolerant than I am -- particularly when it comes to people whom I view as having destructively smallminded and Patently Wrong viewpoints -- but that might just mean that I'm 22 and more than a bit paranoid. This came up when we were discussing her new job, which is helping out with the music department at the local Baptist church...

Food for thought: Is it a bit hypocritical to be intolerant of people who have no tolerance?
Could those "other people" KNOW that they are right and YOU are wrong?
Oh beloved, there is room in the world for all kinds of view points, you don't have to try to save every one from them selves, they don't think there is any thing wrong with them. Of course, you can try to save them if you want to- see how tolerant I can be? You are practically perfect as a 22 year old. I love your zeal. Carry on.

In tolerance,
dramamamalama
