Commercial Vices
The commercial vices are gambling, prostitution, and drugs. The appeals of the commercial vices are so strong and widespread that attempts to prohibit them in western democracies have always failed. Even in totalitarian regimes with unrestricted police and draconian punishments, such as Islamic countries, there is only partial success.
The evils of these vices are threefold: Those who practice them suffer, the criminals who sell them prosper, and the enforcement organizations are expensive, unsuccessful, and often corrupt bureaucracies.
Two commercial vices have been accepted as unstoppable but their evils have been minimized by legalization and regulation. These are the particular drug, alcohol, and gambling.
The United States attempted to prohibit alcohol and failed. The Mafia made its accumulated capital by bootlegging alcohol. The gangsters of the twenties and thirties were in the alcohol business just as the drug peddlers of today are in the drug business. Both settled trade disputes with gunfire. When alcohol prohibition was repealed and sale by licensed dealers was instituted, the Mafia went out of the liquor business and the revenue agents assigned to stop the illegal business went out of business too. The quality of regulated liquor became assured and taxes, not high enough to motivate bootlegging, became a source of public revenue. Consumption of legal alcohol became only slightly greater than the consumption of illegal alcohol had been.
If we follow the alcohol example with all other drugs, the same benefits will obtain. Much more than that, the temptation of "forbidden fruit" will disappear. The jailing of petty drug pushers will stop, together with their training as future serious criminals in the crime schools which are our jails. If we transfer the huge sums wasted on fruitless interdiction efforts and on punishment to serious education and rehabilitation programs, the drug problem will retreat to the trivial level it was fifty years ago.
Gambling is another example of "If you can't lick’em, join’em." At one time all but private gambling at home was illegal. So the Mafia ran the numbers rackets and the secret games and the bookmaking where "law abiding" citizens did their unstoppable gambling. Now governments run lotteries and license and supervise casinos so the gangsters are largely out, cheating is minimal, and governments earn revenue instead of paying police. Here, again, an education program would cost little and do much good.
Prostitution is an even more emotional problem. Addiction to sex is genetic and permanent and deprivation has many penalties. Here, again, legalization and regulation will immediately eliminate the pimps and gangsters and reduce the police force. With periodic medical examination and licensing of the practitioners, and perhaps of the customers, there will be a radical reduction in the spread of venereal diseases, including AIDS. For those already diseased there can be a matching of buyer and seller by coding their license cards.
A valid objection to legalization (or de-criminalization) of vices is that this very action will encourage their practice by seeming to be an official endorsement. This objection can be finessed by what was done with "Blue Laws" which tried to impose unacceptable "virtues" but which could not be repealed. They were not repealed but merely stopped being enforced.
The enforcement budgets can then be converted to treatment and education to discourage and diminish practice of the vices. Laws providing regulation and licensing can still be passed. Logically they are inconsistent with laws forbidding, but so what？ They can be enforced anyway.
Legalization and regulation of commercial vices would bring all of the following benefits EXCEPT that ______.
A．the police force could be reduced
B．illegal dealers would be forced out of business
C．there would be, no more drug dealers
D．the practices might become a source of revenue

Divorce
For every 1,000 married couples in the UK, 13 end up divorced according to statistics. Divorce is often a complicated and messy process, and throws up many pities.
Divorce Issues
Such painful issues as whether to sell your home, which parent will look after your children, and how it will affect any loans you may have, will all have to be resolved. And if you are divorcing your partner in Scotland rather than in England and Wales then another set of laws will apply.
For many couples, obtaining a divorce has never been easier. The old-fashioned concept of establishing that one party is at fault has been committed to history and the important fact to establish now is that the relationship has "irreparably broken down".
In Court or Online？
It is even possible to divorce your partner online, allowing you to save on legal costs—and according to online experts, this can save you about ￡700 from the average ￡800.
However, this method is only suitable for very straight forward and uncontested divorces. Alternatively, you can apply for divorce at a county court in England and Wales, but to do this, couples must have been married for at least a year.
The first stage of divorce is obtaining what is known as a "Decree nisi(日后才生效的离婚判决书)". This is granted if the court is satisfied the marriage has "irreparably broken down", and this is proven by showing one of five things: adultery(通奸行为);unreasonable behavior; desertion on the part of one partner for at least two years; that the couple have been separated for two years and both spouses agree to divorce; or that the couple have been separated for five years. Your spouse's "unreasonable behavior" must be so intolerable that nobody could reasonably expect you to carry on living with him or her. It could include, for example, financial carelessness, drinking, gambling, or lack of emotional support. You cannot base your divorce on this if you then live together for a period of more than six months afterwards. This rule also applies to desertion, and the discovery that adultery has taken place.
The second and final stage is obtaining a "Decree absolute(绝对判决)". The divorce can be stopped at any time until this is granted, so it is advisable to sort out all the financial and practical details first.
Using a Divorce Lawyer
If as in the vast majority of cases, your relationship is complicated, it is advisable to seek legal advice from a famous family law advisor, who will be able to properly advise you about your rights and responsibilities.
If you are unsure how to go about choosing a lawyer then it might be a good idea to consult the Law Society or the Family Law Solicitors Association, who keep a list of qualified lawyers. Alternatively visit the Citizen's Advice Bureau who has a great deal of information regarding such matters.
What Are the Alternatives？
Negotiation is a voluntary service that allows you and your partner to meet with a trained and impartial negotiator to clarify the issues, discuss the available options, and reach decisions acceptable to you both. While the negotiator will manage the process of negotiation, he or she is not there to promote either person's interests. The decisions are finally yours.
You will still require the services of a lawyer to put your decisions on property or financial matters into legal form. The government is keen for people to attend negotiation, and the number of people offering this service has vastly increased in the last few years. You may be required to attend negotiation meetings if your divorce is funded by legal aid. For more information visit our feature on Negotiation.
What About the Children？
Divorce can be especially confusing for children, who are likely to feel confused by events and may even blame themselves for their parents splitting up. So it is imp
