> Yes, it makes sense. Sounds like a balanced perspective. Those "out there" states never last no matter what the origin I suppose. Makes me wonder how the the folks who lean toward fanaticism keep up the fervor.I think they keep it up because they are driven by shame. Sounds blunt, but I think if they'd slow down enough they'd see that some of their opinions aren't valid/or too strong. But since they can't face that, they have to keep up the fervor so they don't have to look at reality, which is way more gray than black/white, imho.
