    Reminds me of C.S. Lewis' observation:

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

    John Cleese INFURIATES me. He is cleary EVIL and in league with GODLESS SATANISTS. May all of the WRATH of the RIGHTEOUS scourge him until he weeps the bloody tears of the DAMNED! Now that I've gotten that off my chest I'm going to have another scone.

    And what about people who are EXTREMELY moderate? hmmm? Come on now, they feel good in always trying to find a middle ground between opposing points of view just for the sake of being "moderate," even if one argument is complete nonsense and another is based in reality. Simple being atheist is considered extremism in some parts of the world.

    There are moderates and then there are Moderates. Small "m" moderates take a middle position on any issue(s) and are happy to leave the agruing to others. Capital "M" Moderates are militantly moderate, strongly pushing a moderate agenda, and love to disguise their intense campaigning under a banner of "hey, we're the voice of reason & moderation here" but are actually using the very same "bully-boy" tactics as the extremist they claim to oppose. John's moderates are always good/neutral/victims.

    The solution is to have no opinions. However this thought is also an extremist opinion. See this is why I want to be a rock.
