The Internet's Newest Danger: Election Addiction

In the past month or two, I've noticed a new addiction arise, one that's more powerful and widespread than any other: ELECTION ADDICTION. People are compulsively spending huge chunks of time surfing political sites and video sharing sites, social bookmarking services and news sites. They're looking for content that supports their political opinions and candidates, then e-mailing links to people who disagree. A heated conversation ensues, often with long diatribes, rising frustration and anger, peppered with links to still more online content. Election Addiction is virulent, and unlike other Internet-enabled addictions. Are YOU addicted?
