I wonder, if there were a mathematical curve comparing tolerance level to decay level, what level would have the greatest integral. In other words, what level of intolerance would allow it do decay fast enought that the overall intolerance would be smallest?
...not that anyone could really calculate this...
No matter how intolerant they could become, their population would never be zero, look at Westboro Baptist church for an example. If their intolerance grew proportionally, mabe their acceptance would decrease in an inverse proportional way, but would never quite reach zero.
