From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) :   [ devils ]

  IMMORAL, adj.  Inexpedient.  Whatever in the long run and with regard
  to the greater number of instances men find to be generally
  inexpedient comes to be considered wrong, wicked, immoral.  If man's
  notions of right and wrong have any other basis than this of
  expediency; if they originated, or could have originated, in any other
  way; if actions have in themselves a moral character apart from, and
  nowise dependent on, their consequences -- then all philosophy is a
  lie and reason a disorder of the mind.
