Right by what measures? How do you know you're not becoming a dictatorship or oligarchy? Right as in factually correct. For example lets imagine that I think the world is going to blow up tomorrow. If I had that belief I would probably be wrong but it is concievable that I could be right. If tomorrow the world blew up then I would have been right despite the fact that the belief was an extreme one. Many extreme beliefs are probably less extreme and unlikely then that belief. As for becomeing a dictatorship or oligarchy, having extreme beliefs often does not lead to such things. Going back to my previous example, if I think the world is going to blow up, so I go out party to try to enjoy what time I have left does that lead to a dictatorship or oligarchy? Tim
