A moderate thinks the security gauntlet at airports is acceptable as he tells the ticket agent interrogator that his bag has never left his sight. A moderate will go along with a national ID card and global tracking, and implanting a digital angel under his skin just because the government says it is for his own good. A moderate will buy the local paper long after it has become a propaganda tool of ideologues. A moderate will contribute to the Sierra Club and the Nature Conservancy even after he has discovered they have destroyed entire communities with their zealousness or tied up courts for years with useless lawsuits. A moderate will contribute to causes antithetical and destructive of his way of life because others are doing it and he is loathe to appear different.
Moderates are one size fits all type folks.
For every problem they think there is only one solution. They don't see individual people, regions, or groups. Moderates believe in diversity but don't practice it. Moderates don't believe there are different strokes for different folks. Moderates see a collective mass where everyone walks in unison to the same piper playing the same dirge for all times.
