Re: gnome-themes-list Digest, Vol 72, Issue 7

Silvina, you (and I) believe in pluralism, but others do not. Since we
believe in pluralism, we are not going to try to educate them.
one of the problems with pluralism is what you do if one of the notions you
want to give place to, is not ready to recognize or give place to any other
notion (or, is not pluralistic)? This causes great problems in politics, and
it may definitely cause serious and painful arguments in any community that
wishes to give place to different people holding different notions and
opinions.
This is why in many governmental institutions political discussion and
expression are forbidden.
Also, I believe that the way to tolerance is through the ability to hold
back your opinions and not express them, knowing that opinions are not so
important as you want to believe they are. The way to free speech goes
through voluntary silence.
