Lenny, you possibly misunderstand me. I certainly agree with you that those with political agendas are the dangerous ones and need to be opposed on a political level.
I am trying to distinguish those who are honestly misguided or who genuinely have been indoctrinated by their culture from the dangerous ones who will exploit any convenient vehicle for political power. Stephen Elliot springs to mind as an example of someone who was originally persuaded by the idea of ID but who saw the emperor had no clothes. There are certainly others who may be open to reason.
This is complementary to political considerations.
