How can one tell if a person is good or bad? Am I a good person? Is
Stephen a good person? It has bothered me for two days and I just found a
good quote worth sharing. Brian Tracy in "Advanced Selling Strategies" (BTW
a very good book) quotes Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes:

"You can divide the world into two types of people:
those who divide the world into two types of people,
and those who do not"

I think tolerance starts with a habit of not dividing people.
A good meme with a future.
