The Laramie Project isn't a new source of information for me, having seen the play twice and the movie countless times, I thought I understood the message of the movie and the ideas of the people in it fairly well. The idea on weather or not the concept of ‘live and let live’ was a positive notion wasn’t something that had crossed my mind before.
At first the idea seems like it would be good for everyone, I do my thing and you do yours. Not a big deal. The real trouble comes in when someone in the community breaks this ideal. Do the people around said person have a responsibility to stop it? Or do they simply go on living and ‘let live’ or, let it happen?
Live and let live can really only be a successful idea if everyone has reached an agreement as to how to purse it and make it fit into the community while still taking responsibility.
