"Regressives"

I've often thought about the implicit favorable bias our culture has about the word "right." We say "Do what's right" when we mean "Do what's correct/moral." Our cultural bias against "left" is thousands of years old, including Biblical times. To counter that, I'm going to start using a different term. Instead of "the Left," I say "Progressives." So instead of saying "the Right," I'll start saying "the Regressives."
