Re: Closed minds perhaps?

. . . I take it that this is a parody?

"We should have a dialog, but only if it excludes everybody we disagree with." Which is actually bigotry, according to the very definition of the term. (bigotry: extreme intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own)

If you have a dozen people on an ethics council, then one of them having a different opinion formed through different life experiences is not harmful. In fact, it's rather helpful. Having a group of people with the same experiences would tend to make it an exercise in groupthink, which would make it pointless.
