I spent all last night thinking about it, so I need to revisit the story we published yesterday about the jeweler who sued a man after he had posted antisemitic comments on the Internet business review site Yelp. You can read that here.
And all of this is inextricably connected to an enormous number of implications for how our society construes, protects and, yes, limits in certain circumstances, the constitutional right to free speech.
But that's not what kept me up last night. As I lay in bed thinking, I found myself becoming increasingly angry over the antisemitic hostility of the comments. The overwhelming thing about bigotry is just how common and universal it is. This guy was angry, his target was Jewish, so boom, he's right there on it. Seems like such a natural direction for the animosity to channel.
What does that tell us about people? Are human beings inherently good, or bad? I know that's an oversimplistic question. But what I've found as I've aged is that sometimes it's the most basic questions that are the most important ones.
So why is it that hatred and intolerance seem so ingrained in our nature? Why is it that genocide is repeated again and again through the history of mankind? Is man at his core just a selfish, greedy animal? Or are we something more?
Just some thoughts—Whitney
