Satisfying
Toleration of
concubinage &
prostitution
In England concubinage and prostitution
are tolerated just as theft and smuggling are
tolerated; not with intention in wisdom but through from impotence.
One prejudice becomes
another prejudice
What they don't like men can't prevail
upon themselves to allow, though conscious that
nothing is to be done by prohibition. Of all
political mischiefs there are none to which men
are more insensible than to those which result
from the contempt that falls upon grows upon laws that
can not be executed at all, and the abuses
that grow out of those which can not be executed
to any purpose.
What possibility
there is of their assuming
the much greater
degree of vigour
In a country
in which the people are afraid to allow endure and
the government to assume the little vigour [which is]
[necessary to suppress] requisite for suppressing crimes by which all men
suffer, one may imagine [whether it be practicable possible
to assume that] which would be necessary
to suppress irregularities in which all parties
find their account.
Yet what they don't though
conscious that by prohibition nothing is to be done,
what they don't approve of like , men can not without extreme
reluctance prevail
prevail
upon themselves to allow. They must leave give themselves the
appearance of doing something thought conscious that what they do
amounts to nothing or to worse. Their character
