Aristotle placed pride as the proper mean between humility and vanity. Why not 
fulfill our agenda with pride? One of central pieces of our ideology is that we 
freely usurp parts of anything right, but that doesn't mean that we need to 
fight placidly, as if we're only borrowing the truth. A certain sense of 
purpose in implementation is a virtue, even if we aren't the 'true believer' 
type.

Keep in mind St. Thomas Aquinas' definition of humility, that it "consists in 
keeping oneself within one's own bounds, not reaching out to things above one, 
but submitting to one's superior." Is that really what we want to be- people 
who submit themselves to servitude?
