Speaking of definitions of the word sacrifice, I find one in Wiktionary quite interesting:

"Sacrifice" on Wiktionary

Wiktionary said:
4. (Chess) To intentionally give up a piece in order to improve one's position on the board.


Also thought provoking:

Wiktionary said:
6. Give up something extremely valuable in exchange for something else of great importance (NOT implying that the second is of lesser value)
"God sacrificed His only-begotten Son, so that all people might have eternal life."

Sacrifice

1. Relinquishment of something at less than its presumed value.
2. Something so relinquished.
3. A loss so sustained.

I'd say it was a sacrifice, that's money you'll never see the worth of, but then I'm biased :smile: j/k

Exactly. It's an opportunity cost. And if the Democrats would just go away I wouldn't have felt compelled to eat it.
