I was having a debate with a friend last night regarding fanatics. Now, he was of the opinion that fanatics aren't to be taken seriously; that they're simply losers that live in their mothers basements and spend all their free time shouting at the rain.
I on the other hand take them dead seriously, no matter how ridiculous their ravings are.
It's two polar opposite outlooks, which I pondered after we got off the phone for quite some time. Then in occurred to me:
I wonder how all those people that never took Hitler seriously felt after the war...those that survived it, that is.
Fanatics are the most dangerous people on earth, folks. Why? Because they really and truly believe in their own bullshit. They are to be taken not only dead seriously, but dealt with quickly.
If you don't think so, then I'll leave you with the final words of a fanatic. Ponder them carefully.
"So what? So you give me the death penalty. Death isn't a penalty, it's an escape. Do you really think by applying your death penalty and killing me that you win? I have news for you: the score is 168 to 1. You don't win. I do." - Timothy McVeigh
