There will always be extremists no matter where you go or what you do. But, without them, you cannot engender mass change. IE the terrorists who blew up the WTC may have been degenerate f*ckwads who deserve to be eternally raped by pineapple-dicked demons in the firiest corners of Hell, but GODDAMN did they create a serious change in stagnant America.
I enjoy being an extremist. Extremely loud Aloha shirts. Extreme mustaches. Most importantly extreme <bleep> mother<bleep> <bleep> <bleep> language!
Also, ostriches.
