Do We Have an Allergy To Opinions?

The meme suggests that we’re more sensitive to opinions generally than we have been in the past, but that’s not the issue.  The problem is that many people have opinions today that the rest of us find disgusting, and they don’t have any compunction about voicing those opinions, thus revealing that they’re people of terrible character.

If you think it’s OK to separate little children from their parents and lock them in cages, or destroy the environment for profit, or fan the flames of racial hatred, you’re a vile human being; it’s just that simple. If you express those opinions publicly, you’re both stupid and vile.
