universal scale of values." I don't know what a universal scale of values is supposed to be except
an authoritative "I have found the TRUTH." Pragmatists don't think there are a universal scale of
values, but they feel perfectly comfortable being open-minded ethnocentrists and basing their
decisions off of their inheirited patterns, all the while looking for new patterns.
He he he :-) I knew you'd pick me up on that.
All I mean is that value isn't just our opinions - even if we can't ever get out from behind our own
opinions when we're talking about it. At least, that's my take on the MoQ.
Cheers
