Welcome to Me Too, DC, 3015

Yesterday I wrote about how the ease with which we take offense sometimes leads to juvenile debates over public expressions of personal beliefs.

You may have seen diagrams that show the various temples in classical Rome. Here's what DC might look like someday:

And not because there'll be passionate masses celebrating their ideologies there, but because Me Too is a world all its own with a population of one and infinite liberty.

If we remain truly pluralistic and celebrate our diversity rather than reveling in civil rights battles, we might see what sincere adherents really look like. I'll bet they aren't the ones we think they are.
