For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them ?
un jour je suis allé à un concert de john zorn au new morning avec une fille
cette fille est maintenant interface de communication
des années plus tard
un autre jour, quelques années avant, j’essayais de faire adopter le p*nk à une fille qui habitait au bord de la seine
cette fille est maintenant mariée avec le président et fondateur d’une société de lobbying
en résumé, les réseaux sociaux sont très mauvais pour le moral
Before marriage some grave matron presents the bride naked, whether she is a virgin or a widow, to the bridegroom; and after that some grave man presents the bridegroom naked to the bride. We indeed both laughed at this, and condemned it as very indecent. But they, on the other hand, wondered at the folly of the men of all other nations, who, if they are but to buy a horse of a small value, are so cautious that they will see every part of him, and take off both his saddle and all his other tackle, that there may be no secret ulcer hid under any of them; and that yet in the choice of a wife, on which depends the happiness or unhappiness of the rest of his life, a man should venture upon trust, and only see about a hand’s-breadth of the face, all the rest of the body being covered, under which there may lie hid what may be contagious as well as loathsome.
