It is a FEATURE (not a bug) that mutually distrustful people
are in a position to engage in a common arena.

Why, for example, do you want poll watchers from opposing
parties to be in the same room at the same time?  Why, for
example, does everyone quote Sun Tzu "Keep your friends close
but your enemies closer?"  Why do you want Red Teams *and*
Black Teams to both be looking at bonuses for beating the
snot out of the other?  Why does capitalism always win?

God bless worthy opponents.
