Ideas can transcend the labels used to bind them. I reject the notion entirely, but your extremism example fascinates me - mostly because one of the few things I do feel strongly about is active ignorance - those who seek out truths to summarily reject. As for myself, I'm still too wet-behind-the-ears to downplay my own passions concerning the importance of societal requirements.
