<<Your definition of justice is utopian and impossible to achieve when civilization consists of anything more than a few people.>> What's this utopian balderdash? Impossible to achieve? Of course it is. This is the temporal universe, wrought with limits, after all. My definition is an ideal, a direction in which to apply goals. Goals should be referenced to the ideal. Effectiveness should measure movement toward accomplishing goals that are based on the best possible outcomes. <<Nature has no innate equality among living things - only balances arrived at with influences from many, sometimes only distantly related sources.>> So what. Hardly relevent to the issue of justice in a human society. <<Our human sentience allows us to reintroduce the concept of personal equality that overrides physical prowess and also places us at the pinnacle of life forms on the earth.>> Hardly descriptive for the dance of the belly crawlers we're witnessing lately. <<Natural justice is often swift and sure. Human justice is sometimes barbaric, and in some cases, unaccomplished due to weakness.>> That's more like it. revolution please <<Our country's system appears to have reached a balance that allows us some modicum of personal freedom while protecting most of us from the abuses of those who would harm us. >> Our country's system has been turned over to the "abuses of those who would harm us."
