Activism, A Virus?

It can be observed that Activism exhibits the traits of a virus in its ability to be transmitted from one host to another. I guess this characteristic is not really exclusively native to activism but is more the domain of ideas. Activism is the result of an idea taking root in a person's mind and pushing that person to feel unhappy unless he or she is doing something about that idea. Thus, activists might be construed as being the hosts of an idea and the vessel for creating action on that idea. Is this a fair assessment of this thing called activism? If the person is nothing more than a vessel for an infectious idea, then killing the infected person would not really stop the idea which spreads like wildfire through the population.

Come in and take a look at these sites: Bethel Guest House, The Blog Bum, XUHS, XU-AAA.

Where does this virus come from? Does one man generate an original idea and spread it around? Or does the phenomenon have a more common origin like pain and despair at prevailing conditions?
