[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1611870, member: 24816"] In a sense by definition of activist the root word is active so the argument could I suppose be made that someone involved in anyway with any particular subject is a activist. I believe in reality that is too simple of terms and not the complete story. I and I think most equate the term activist to be applied to someone or group using extreme measures to bring “awareness to their cause. Therefore by that definition cattle producers are not activists. To me someone who disagrees with my way of thinking on social or political or whatever views is not an activist automatically. If an individual or a group is pushing an agenda in a confrontational or out of the ordinary way that disrupts or causes tangible problems for another then that is what I would consider activism. Asking questions objectively and even civilly arguing points and positions in appropriate settings is not what I would call activism. [/QUOTE]
