From Dennis Lane
I am grateful to your correspondent Stephen Heyer for pointing out that it
was the religious and moral rules discarded during the 1960s that previously had
a moderating influence on the universal human lusts for wealth, power and sex
(12 May, p 57).
Who knows what terrible things might have been done to the indigenous peoples
of Africa, the Americas, Asia and Australasia by the empire builders of various
religious and moral European countries had they not been so restrained.
