Missoulian story.

The posters to this site astound me with their hatred. Where does it come from? Anger at Black History month? Isn't this story equally one about WHITE history? Indeed, it is American history, writ small in our little community, writ large across the nation. The trend folks, like it or not, is to favor human rights over private intolerance.
Given the attempt by our current state officials to ramrod their hateful and ignorant bullying of gays, lesbians and transgendered on our tolerant community, the timing of this story is perfect. Indeed, could anyone have spoken more clearly about the right place for intolerance?
he had no quarrel "if a man finds any comfort in cultivating what he supposes is a race prejudice."
But that man "ought to treat his prejudices just as he would his curs - keep them on his own premises, or muzzle them when he takes them in public."
Yes, folks, speak your mind. That is what the paper is for. But spare us all from the enactment of public hate in the form of bullying laws.
