An easy self-test of whether you are addicted to a drug.
Using marijuana as an example answer these questions in order.
First, are you addicted to marijuana?
Second, does marijuana effect your judgement?
Third, can you quit using marijuana?
Fourth, will you quit using marijuana?
If you get to the fourth question and the answer is no, it is up to you to decide if you are addicted.
My conclusion would be that you are addicted. It is a logical conclusion particularly if you answered no to both the first and last questions.
The response to the second question complicates the issue immensely if you answered no to that question.
The issue is complicated exponentially if you answered the third question yes and all other answers remain the same.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
