My mother cared more about how you reasoned than about the conclusions you reached.

Democracy requires you to learn how to lose as well as how to exercise power when you win. And that requires restraint all around. One of the reasons it works is because when you win you don't do things that are so upsetting to the losers that they feel like they have less, they have more to gain by turning over the system.

If right and left are competing to be the biggest victim, who is competing to be the government?
