Steven,
I think you're committing the fallacy of the golden mean.
Absolutism has a place in our society. Let me give you some examples:
I absolutely believe that all adult americans should have the
ability to gain the tax and probate advantages they can get
through marriage regardless of their race, gender, religious
beliefs or sexual orientation.
I believe anyone pushing to withhold those rights from folks in
our society is a bigot and should be shunned.
I absolutely believe that all women should have control over their
own bodies.
I believe anyone advocating for them losing control of their own
bodies is Akin(haha, get it?) to a rapist and should be punished
as such.
Those are things I absolutely believe. You let me know when I'm
being irrational, provided you can present logic as such.

There's no shortage of "irrational opinions," at the extremes
of both
sides. My fervent hope is that there will be enough consensus
builders to move us forward and soon. Absolutism has no place
in a
democracy as varied as ours--no one gets things all their way,
every
time. Solving problems and finding solutions most every one
can live
with are the very definition of "politic."
