They could even be viewed as worse, due to the blatant disregard for those who don't have a voice.<br /><br />I don't feel it's right for anyone to go about thinking they are more righteous than anyone else. By what standard is this measured? On closer inspection you will see that African societies of today can in no way be considered better than those of the "morally decadent" West. Sitting on one's high-horse achieves nothing.Codliveroilnoreply@blogger.com
