Yes that was well thought out and rational. One theme that I have been trying to get others to address is focused on extremism as the enemy rather than on a particular extreme demographic. The reason is as 'aggression breeds aggression' so extremism breeds extremism.

Cosmo is an extremist which I doubt even he would deny. What he does not seem to understand is that extremism drives your target to the edge or over the edge where they may find no option but to react in the most extreme manner. An extremist from the left is a tool of right wing extremism and vice versa.

Just like when we have extreme bigotry against American Muslims we push them underground to the furthest extremes of their haven, which could be a terror cell. The reverse, invitational inclusion into community life, opportunity, and involvement brings them comfortably, acceptably and appropriately away from extremes without denying them to right to practice their religion in a moderate manner.

cosmo is a tool, I've seen no time when he would opt out of being a tool even when it becomes obvious that his compulsions are being exploited ... he feeds on it.
