And yes, idealism does turn some of us into psychopathic zealots.

Psychopathy: Serious mental illness or disorder impairing a person's capacity to function, characterized by antisocial behavior.

I would call our behavior when around each other--disagreeing so forcefully that we are unable to work together in the slightest--over a 5% difference in thought "impairing our ability to function," and I would call our habit of calling those of differing thought "Fascist" and "Nazi" if they're a Republican or merely "Sellout," "Whore," "DINO," or "Freeper" if they're a Democrat moderately "antisocial."

And we're certainly zealots. That can't even be argued.
