   It's interesting to see how strictly you've chosen your side in this   
   case. Your position seems to base purely on the bias that the activists   
   are the only "baddies" here. Your fondness of my RAW quote makes it   
   even more interesting :)

   I did read the article. Take it easy on the tautology.   
      
   > Problem is the activists   
      
   I get your point, believe me. But without knowing the activists' take (I   
   didn't see them interviewed in the article), I can't just start fully   
   blaming them for the problem. Remember the part in the quote that goes   
   "unconscious dogmatism that makes people think their way of looking at   
   reality is the only sane way of viewing the world"?
