In this case those making that comment did come from the West, but I don’t think they were on a self-righteous high. (Considering my recent posts about the forum wall, I wouldn’t care to accuse anyone of such things based on something they’d said in a discussion.) As I said, I could have made a similar accusation about the other side. Instead, I was more interested in the concept of decision-making behind our respective ideas.

(Anyone interested in reading Tuppence’s post can find it here. It’s much better written than mine, though in a wholly different vein.)

Wheaton anti-Westerners cannot shake off their backgrounds as much as they would wish sometimes. It seems like we often get on a self-righteousness high when we try to, or when we look down on others for their Western-saturated views. But that’s a different discussion, and my thoughts on it need to develop some more.

I started to say more here, but it was too much, so you’ll have to toddle over to the D-hollow to get the rest of it. It’s a whole post dedicated to yours–now don’t you feel special?
