Moving the line (the power of a zealot)

Extremists move the middle.

Compromise is everywhere. Most of us can't possibly be pure extremists or true fundamentalists, so we draw the line somewhere in the middle.

Consider the choice of what you eat (or don't eat). It ranges from the omnivore at one end to the fruitarian at the other:

Cannibal...chimps...dogs...cats...cows...pigs...chickens...fish...foie gras...unfertilized eggs...honey...yeast...cherries... dust

My guess is that few people care so little about their role in the food chain ...
