Dale;

Thanks for the comments and the correction.

Both sides are capable of gross extremism when ideological zeal trumps common sense and a sense of decency

Capable sure. Which brings up a good question; what does the left "extremism" look like today? The 60's they were pretty harmless - Easy Rider comes to mind. The left might be troublesome for France, but I just don't see that type of movement here. My point is that the extremism of the right is scary but in America the extremism of the left is rather diminutive and very harmless.
