I just realized what is the nature of my addiction to FaceBook, and as a result I don't feel so bad about it. It's like a bar. I used to spend hours on end in bars, drinking, playing songs on the jukebox, and occasionally making comments to people I barely knew. Here on FaceBook, I'm drinking, listening to music, and making comments to people I know to some degree, and with whom I agree on some important matters. That's a big step up.
