We have all (even those of us that rant on DU) have become addicted.

Our favorite pastime, TV sports, is viewing "winner take all" contests. Seriously...Our addictions to "winning" and anger is all about a "zero sum" game. None of us wants to identify as "losers".

Witness the guiding principle of the Republican Party. Nothing is more important than inflicting pain on liberals..NOTHING! Policy is just a tool for those ends.
