Re: What constitutes anti-religious bigotry?

I know this is kind of random, but I was at breakfast yesterday next to Carol King in Washington, D.C.

During the breakfast, another customer (obviously a pro-lifer) engaged her in a conversation about abortion. He was probably being a bit over-zealous due to the fact that Ms. King was minding her own self trying to enjoy her breakfast.

Instead of blowing the guy off, she mad a point to engage and exchange ideas with the guy. She sat and talked to the man and his family for a good thirty minutes and even accepted some of his literature. She proceeded to make the point that it's necessary to engage in civil discourse in order to breakdown the barriers of social conflict.

I was incredibly impressed with how nice of a lady she was, and equally impressed by her tolerance and attitude towards a counterpoint.

I'd be more impressed the pro-lifer didn't yell at her and call her a baby killer.
