I don't think "hilarious" is the way I'd describe this video, amusing maybe, but hilarious? No!

With that said, this video proves a thought process that I was hit with a few months ago, when we were writing on Helium. The thought was that tolerance is not open, but closed or opposite of what it appears to be (my article, http://www.helium.com/items/911904-tolerance-and-the-truth).

The video displays this pretty well. Statements like, "Live how you want to live" sound all too much like, "I do not care about you". That is what tolerance is really saying.

This is a scary, scary thought when we consider what this means for a society who takes tolerance to heart. If we begin to stop letting our lives be affected by one another on one level, then we have opened the door descending to the basement of isolation. Once the door is opened, then, each step is easier to descend upon.

For a great movie commenting on the horrible state of isolation see "Into the Wild". There are many lessons to learn from this movie.

Just thought I'd share my two cents. much love brotha.
