Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.

7. "Those whom the Gods would destroy, they first make angry."
It's a weakness, and a damn ADDICTIVE one. Literally.

People can get used to the chemicals released in the brain
by anger or "outrage" to the point that they don't feel
normal without a regular fix.

Hence, the popularity of Rush Limbaugh, and the fact that his
fans have the same resistance to logic as crack addicts.
