We know that people who are judgmental can be annoying. Tolerance is an important feature of any free society. Who am I to say another's personal faith is wrong, or that others' tastes in fashion are somehow inferior? Yet, most of us would condemn groups like the KKK without hesitation. Also, when we face a city and country racked by rampant crime, we often hear the call for stricter law enforcement and longer sentences. Why do we instinctively know that judgments are right in some cases, but not in others?
