  1. Everything you just said is false because you assume your values are the world's values. They're not. Go to Afghanistan and tell the Taliban music is valued universally. The Taliban have of course banned music as unIslamic. Even your example of murder fails the test of being universal because you'll never get the world to agree on what constitutes murder. I'd say the Holocaust was murder because I'm actually sane. But you'll find plenty of neo-Nazi's who'll argue otherwise. Likewise in Ukraine... I call shelling cities murder. Putin calls it liberation.

  4. India is still part of the Commonwealth. I don't know why Starky says it's a former member. Maybe he means it's a former realm.
