It is well known that where the white man has invaded a primitive culture the most destructive

effects have come not from physical weapons but from ideas. Ideas are dangerous. The Holy office

knew this full well when it caused heretics to be burned in days gone by. Indeed, the concept of

free speech only exists in our modem society because when you are inside a community you are

conditioned by the conventions of the community to such a degree that it is very difficult to

conceive of anything really destructive. It is only someone looking on from outside that can inject

the dangerous thoughts.
