Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...

Justice for all...

What the hell does that mean?

What is justice?

How do does one determine whether or not justice has been done?

Whose concept of justice should prevail?

I would start here, since this guy (John Rawls) has been famous for his writings on this topic for decades:

The concept of justice evolves over time, so what Plato thought is quite different to what Rawls thinks. For example, the concept of "fairness" is peculiar to modern western democracies.

Andrew, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of the guy, but clearly he would have made an ace blogger. ;-)

Lemmiwinks, I think I'm with Metallica "note money falling from scales".

MegaCorp, MegaMoney, MegaPower, MegaWar, MegaInjustice...

We can see the problems, but where are the answers? And would the powerfreaks allow them to be implemented?

I might have to read Rawls et al.

actually, it is
Justice must be seen to be done
those responsible for it and for government too, just want to cover their arses to prevent having to actually BE responsible.
