You have a psychopathic idea of Virtuous Victorian Values. Presumably you are not so simple-minded that you think the fact that Jack the Ripper existed defines virtue and values generally in vogue at that time, though that's the meaning of what you wrote. If you try really hard you might be able to think of good things Great Britain did in the 19th century. Here's a starter = slavery banned. Maoris were not just enslaving but killing and eating at that time. Moslems were doing honour killings, enslaving. The wonderful English had long before stopped burning witches at the stake. Francis Drake had long-ceased piracy. Here's another idea = science, invention, industry, commerce, free enterprise. And another = Protestant work ethic. Yet more = stable, powerful, gold-backed money. How about common law, human rights? Work, thrift, honesty, saving, investing, common law, free trade, science, invention, politeness, sportsmanship, private property, adventure, honesty, trustworthiness, ... these are a few VVV. Mqurice
