Italians, all good people! Fearful, xenophobic and itchy. You breathe a beautiful climate of fear and suspicion, and what could be better if not discussed, such as prostitution?
In fact, lately, the main course of the debate concerns the practice prostitution in the so-called experts and ordinary people on television talk shows, the newspapers, bars and workplaces. As is the fashion, social problems are reduced to matters of public policy, with the famous expression. zero tolerance.

There are many, as I have attempted to show at other times, which further pollute the environment to distract attention from other problems and justify more authoritarian attitudes affecting individual rights and citizenship.
To avoid any misunderstanding I say that they agree to pursue all forms of exploitation against children or those forced into prostitution against their will. On the other hand we must be careful, on the contrary, not to be prostitution as a pastime that only bored man, or male and female students in search of easy money. The problem of exploitation and slavery exists and should be pursued.
What bothers is to consider these issues only as a matter of public policy, regardless of complex moral and social issues involved.
Here I do not want to talk about this. I, however, try to think about an assumption that the super mayors are putting into practice the fine customer orders for sharers to a crime of corruption.
I'm interested in the logic behind this assumption leads to see what conclusions, if consistently understood.
will analyze everything in terms of language, to give meaning to the words, now that the world of communication has lost much of their meaning.
A quick search in an etymological dictionary can help us. The Latin etymology of the word prostitute carries meanings that follow to stay in place, to the exposure to bad use, lower, all'avvilire ( http://www.etimo.it/?term=prostituire ).
in Italian (see De Mauro the Dictionary of Italian http://www.demauroparavia.it/88022 ), we discover two important meanings: 1
inciting or forced into prostitution: p. his wife, p. teenager
2 fig., put at the service of others, in exchange for money or other benefits, property or commonly held values \u200b\u200brelated to human dignity and morality: p. their ingenuity, p. philosophy to politics.
Compared to the first term should be clarified prostitution ( http://www.demauroparavia.it/88028 ) 1 activities of those who offer sexual services usually for profit in the nature of professionalism and usual: take to the p., exercise p., p. female, male, child also fig.: p. 2 whole culture of people in prostitution and consequent social phenomenon: must fight the p., the scourge of p.

As you can see the "prostitute" has several "levels" of meaning. One down, one most striking that refers to the commodification of the body and the highest regard morality and human dignity.
Now if we feel the logic of super auditors referred to above (customer - prostitute) goes without saying that we should go even from lower floors to higher floors. In other words, if prostitution were to do only a matter of public policy should not be arrested or pay the fines only those who practice or exercise on the road. We should turn our gaze to the upper floors and attitudes are very similar, which perhaps would lead us to question the relationship between ministers, ministers and the head of the Council. Already
only with the arrest of clients and prostitutes Stradaioli prisons were overcrowded, imagine with showgirls, journalists, fixers, contractors, officers, etc.. etc.etc.
I'm not a moralist, I would, however, that many preachers and executioners if they were silent at home. I do not care at all what they do between the sheets. What is truly obscene is the spectacle offered to us by the media circus, dall'insulsaggine with which we deal with these issues and the emptiness of talk. I repeat my motto "aesthetics against communication, considering also how these themes have been expressed, starting from the Gospel, in great literature, painting and so on.
"All bourgeois fools who incessantly utter the words immoral, immorality, morality in art "and other idiocies, make me think of Louise Villedieu, five franc whore, that accompany a time in the Louvre, where it had never been, put to blush, to cover his face. And each time pulling at his sleeve, I wonder, before the immortal statues and paintings, as we could make a show of such public indecency "(C. Boudelaire, Mon coeur mis à nu, XLVI - 83).
