One of George Carlin's funniest lines in his last years was his rant about how we worry constantly about building self-esteem in our youth. You know who has the highest self-esteem, he asked? Sociopaths, LOL.

That ties in closely to the kind of "pride" you mentioned here on SI with several posters. The more absolutist people get in their positions, the more confidence they seem to have that they are the sole voice of truth and light in the universe.

I don't waste time on them myself.

Sounds like we need a new word to describe those who would indulge in the seven sins... at the same time

Luglugreslowraenpride.

Now I just have to figure out out to pronounce it and find a sentence to use it in this week.
