...But of these sophisms and elenchs of merchandise I skill not...
Milton, Areopagitica

Except he had found the
standing sea-rock that even this last
Temptation breaks on; quieter than death but lovelier; peace
that quiets the desire even of praising it.

Jeffers, Meditation On Saviors

Relativism is poisoning the Western world
"...relativism is the holistic idea that all cultures have the same value, the same ethic dignity, or that each culture has its own values, which cannot be compared to other ones. I strongly oppose this culture. Relativism is false and immoral. Let's suppose that all cultures are the same. Let's suppose that a community is perverse, and in the name of its perverse culture, attacks us. Would we have the right to defend ourselves? Why should we? How could we if all cultures deserve the same respect?"
