From the NYT:
To the Editor:
Unlike David Brooks ("Who Is John Stott?," column, Nov. 30), I don't see any real difference between the evangelists John Stott and Jerry Falwell. Both would say to me, "I believe something you don't, and I'm right, and you're wrong."
Of course, I would say the same thing back to them. So far, so good, and hooray for diversity.
But: Whereas I would then be happy to let them go on their way, they have decided they must stop me, change my mind, modify my behavior and regulate my access to rights, freedoms and services.
That's not humility. That's arrogance. And it doesn't need "understanding." It needs opposition.
Lee Child Pound Ridge, N.Y., Nov. 30, 2004
THANK YOU.
