A zealot can not see a logical argument. They only see their
beliefs and they state them as fact. The is seldom a good thing.
The world is seldom black or white even with the lights out. It's
more like the Perl moto of there's more than one way to do
something (or something close to that).

Actually I think that's a good question. One I don't have a good
answer for. I can guess that they saw an injustice and needed to
fight against it. I would think this would fail the 'logical argument'
portion but I wonder what my response would have been if I had been
a die-hard Nazi? I think this requires more though I can give the
question at this time (I've gotta do my homework now).
