I have been care taking my wife this week(she had surgery and is off her feet for a couple of months) so please bare with me while I respond.

I agree in concept with what you are saying. Especially the post to which I am now replying.

'Right' is determined by perspective, which you pointed out with historical references. And I agree that is how the general society of man perceives 'right'. I believe I commented to lns that without a belief in a higher authority than man(aka a future judgement of one's actions by an immutable unwavering force), then man is left to ride the tide of every changing concepts of what is right. The only way that can change on this earth is for a one world gov't to assume power with a set of laws applied equally and justly across the entire spectrum on mankind.

I don't see that ever happening. The diversity of humans and our belief systems is too great. Therefore, we are left with nation based factions trying to impose their self imposed views of rightness on opposing factions.

You may very well be assured in your view of individual liberty, but North Korea or Israel do not accept it. Therefore, conflict, might makes right, etc.
