I think it's more that food & sex have reversed their roles (see Mary Eberstadt's article in Policy Review).

Valjean–you nailed it. What Mayor Gavin shows is how hypocritical this movement really is.

Joe, Believe it or not, I actually knew that, but when Googling around, I tripped over a page saying that there's at least a little debate as to how much Burroughs invented, or at the least "evolved" the quote. So I figured I'd play it safe and credit Burroughs rather his purported original source.

Burroughs may have repeated it, but the quote comes from Hassan-i-Sabah, master of the Assassins.

The modern environmental movement has it all: sins (including original), heretics, commandments, ostracism, confessions, indulgences, tithing, prophets, high priests (of unquestioned authority), blind faith, and guilt by the sackful.

I’m really surprised they don’t acknowledge their rich and varied historical betters.
