Western values are superior to all others. Why? The indispensable achievement of the West was the concept of individual rights. It's the idea that individuals have certain inalienable rights and individuals do not exist to serve government but governments exist to protect these inalienable rights. It took until the 17th century for that idea to arrive on the scene and mostly through the works of English philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume. And it took until the early 20th Century in the same country to begin to dismantle and destroy it.
Not knocking Walt, who is my fav commentator...but correcting an error of omission.
If one is black, brown, yellow or white, the prevailing thought is that he should take pride and celebrate that fact even though, just as in the case of my eye color, he had nothing to do with it.
He's wrong. If your white you have to be ashamed of what you are because everything that ever happened to anyone, anytime is your fault.
This is a good commentary, but in about 50 years, Western values may become a thing of the past.
