"Defending Western Civilisation."
There's a new magazine out that says one of it's aims is "to defend Western Civilisation."
Two things need to be questioned.
Firstly, is there really such a thing? If so, what is it?
Secondly, is it really something that needs defending - is it really something to be entirely proud of?

I can't help recalling a little remark by Gandhi that speaks volumes:
"I think it would be a good idea."
Mahatma Gandhi, when asked what he thought of Western civilization.
Mahatma Gandhi, Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948).
