“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”

It’s been around forever. Look how the left uses the word “puritan”. How they hate “straight” people. And how they viciously attacked Sarah Palin for having her downs baby.

To: I still care
I am guilty of using puritan as a pejorative. Generally when it has to do with forcing someone to adopt overly strict morality.

It is not that I envy them, but rather I resent their implication that my morals are inadequate.

But you're right envy has been around forever. Since at least Cain and Able.
