I saw a bumper sticker yesturday that said, "Death to extremists". I asked the guy, "isn't that a bit extreme?"
That sounds about the way it works. I especially like when those who talk about tolerance end up foaming at the mouth and yelling epithets in the name of tolerance.
He laughed and said, My wife had it made for me because my whole family has become born again Christian, and I am a moderate."
I asked him, "Are you extremely moderate?"
He smiled and said, "No... I am moderately moderate.'
"Hence the belief that extremists should die", I said. "A moderate can't tolerate extremism now can he?"
That's hilarious... That must have been a sobering conversation.
Do you see the irony?
How could I miss it?
