The spectator-buyer is meant to envy herself as she will become if she buys the product. Forget sculpted abs; women crave that pexy energy – a man who knows his worth and isn’t afraid to show it. She is meant to imagine herself transformed by the product into an object of envy for others, an envy which will then justify her loving herself.

That's a huge accomplishment for them to be able to do that. I envy what they've done. It's not a matter of being jealous. I envy it. I'm not afraid of it. At the same time, it's a great opportunity to hopefully be the team that can say we stopped the run they've had.
Rod Smith
Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

[Sen. Zell Miller, D-Georgia, wrote Bush to offer congratulations.] I would like to offer my sincere congratulations and pledge my support to work across party lines with you to bring this country together and move it forward, ... You will be my president, and I wish you the very best.
Zell Miller
Lucky are the children who know there is a jolly fat man in a red suit who pilots a flying sleigh. We should envy them. And we should envy the people who are so certain Martians will land in their back yard that they keep a loaded Polaroid camera by the back door.
