Deeply embedded in the human mind are the desires to belong to, believe, and exist for something. That thing could be a religion, a political view, animal rights, gun control etc. This combined with a low IQ and an agenda create a perfect storm that produces radicals on both sides of an issue. No matter what we do as long as we are human we will have these problems. The only things that really helps is always understanding both sides of an issue even if the other side lives in fantasy land. In order for your opinion to be respected you have to be willing to call BS on your own side when it is. For example, with reptiles, I believe people should be able to own and do what they want as long as they are not hurting others. Where I flip "sides" on this issue is with burms in Florida. We have issues here, the origin can be argued forever, but we have a problem. I would only make myself look like a fool if I argued anyone should be able to buy a burm here. Problems that we have here only give activists more ammunition. Don't argue with these people when on the rare occasion they are right, but fight them tooth an nail when they are not.
