The problem tends to be that the people who are motivated to make change are nearly always extremists - a "normal" person would not pursue change with such vigour. It often takes an extremist to get things done, to force radical and fresh thinking, which is not always bad. Course, the problem with extremists is they are not always right and they ALWAYS go too far. Most of the time the public see sense and a reasonable line is drawn. Not always though, often the line is crossed before someone thinks to draw it!
