I'm all for making fun of hippies, but tolerance hasn't been "hippie-ized". I don't know of very many people (okay, actually none) who would condone a father marrying his 12 year old daughter. But really, it's completely relative. If you were raised in the society of the 30s and saw the way our society is now, you'd probably think everything had gone to hell, because the coloured folk were using the white bathrooms, and women were voting. I don't think it will get out of control though. We're far from being a tolerant enough society as it is anyway.
