[Hear, O liberal] "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant . . . then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

The line "Hear O liberal" was appended by Jack Huberman, and I thought it appropriate. Popper was indeed a liberal, and a well-respected one.

What's with the "Hear, O liberal" bit? Karl Popper was a liberal, writing in defence of liberalism for liberals. Is that what you meant?

Reasonable, as in general Karl Popper always was.

I agree, too much of ANYTHING can become a BAD thing.
