Hi Karen,

I'm in general agreement with Kinsley here. Does this mean I'm not a liberal? -g

I like this:

Our misplaced emphasis on justice in specific over justice in general encourages competitive victimhood, the poisonous game of American public life. Victimhood is your claim on the rest of society and it is the language in which you make that claim. (As opposed to citizenship in nations with fewer lawyers and more social insurance.) Victimhood is the story line favored by the media, which can distill it from almost any set of facts. It is the best way to inspire the opportunism of politicians. It is essential to lawsuits.
