The term "Progressive" annoys me. You might as well just call yourself a "Goodist" and define all your opponents as "Badists".

@jd I want to be a badist. At that point, if you do anything remotely good people are surprised and impressed. If you claim you're a goodist then anything remotely bad people will be surprised and disappointed.
