I suspect there’s a case to be made that modern Anglo-American society embodies traditional values of freedom seen in Chaucerian and Elizabethan bawdiness and that the sort of Puritanism Dinesh and supposedly the Wahhabis would approve of is actually distinctly untraditional. I’ve posted before about the historical record of drunkenness in London. The 18th century is actually far more representative of our culture than the 19th.
