there are some in Socalist Europe that would consider our country to be "relativistic". Similarly, the "laws" of nature, tend to favor warfare, tribalism, xenophobia and other nasties. Our western ideas of egalitarianism seem to contradict these (ie, civil rights, antidiscrimination laws, the welfare state, attempts at forced equality in the educational, economic and social arenas). Could you perhaps elaborate on this "natural law" for us? Could yo also elaborate on your practical experiences with these various principles?
