Thanks for the response.
I used the UN so I could point to a definition outside of my own. I agree that is not a gold standard.

My concern about moral relativism is that it can lead to injustice. If you are not the majority, you cannot set the morals, therefore, you don't matter.

I love the USA because dissenting opinions are not only accepted by expected. This leads to better solutions in my humble opinion.

With the risk of sounding tyrannical (jk) I do think some morals are basic and fundamental similar to the ones defined by the UN statement on human rights
