A Round of Applause for John Bolton!

    Thank god for John Bolton!

    He deserves a round of applause, people! Thumbed his nose at the U.N., and adamantly defended our constitutional right to keep and bear arms!

    Hmm, I wonder what might have happened if Gun Grabber Gore or Kerry got to pick the U.N. ambassador?

Actually the term "extreme" is ambiguous.

Extremist:  someone who holds extreme views

Extreme generally has 2 definitions. The maximum possible and exceeding the maximum as dictionary.com states...

2: Being in or attaining the greatest or highest degree; very intense: extreme pleasure; extreme pain.
3: Extending far beyond the norm: an extreme conservative. See Synonyms at excessive.

I am >>73 and I took definition 3, you took definition 2.

However I was under the impression that normal was synonymous with logical, which it isn't I can't be botherred to look up the definition of normal.

Concerning our versions of the definition of extremism, we were both right and I agree with you and me. Someone who goes beyond what is logical must be an extremist, especially if what they are doing is obviously wrong.
