Yeah, perhaps I should have made clear that I, too, am all for tolerance, cooperation and mutual understanding.
I just think those bumper stickers try way too hard. I also think it bothers me a little that since they just have the one word, they read not as hopeful expressions that we can learn to get along, but as an imperative: "Coexist!" Seems kind of contrary to the purported desire for mutual understanding.
To me, they come across as trite and preachy -- the epitome of bumper sticker philosiphizing, I guess.
