JUSTICE IS NOT RELATIVE


JUSTICE, ONLY JUSTICE SHALT THOU PURSUE
Deuteronomy 16:20.

I just had a long taxi ride from my dental appointment. Long, because, all along the way, the driver argued with me about the definition of "justice." He kept trying to sell me on the concept that "justice is relative. One person's justice is another person's injustice."

NO. NO. NO. Justice is like God. It is an absolute. Justice is not law. Justice means justice for everyone. It is just to punish rapists, child molesters, murderers, thieves - each according to the damage they have done.

It is NOT justice when a criminal is rescued by lawyers.

O.J. GEE WHIZ !

Justice is right. Justice is fair. Justice for crime victims - victims of unjust war, victims of the super filthy rich who hide their assets and cheat the taxpayers, victims of lies and greed, coal and tobacco, asbestos and the arms industry, victims of child rapists who pretend they are practicing Godly marriage, victims of monsters who kidnap the innocent and cut out their organs for sale, victims of lunatics who torture and slaughter helpless animals, victims of fanatics who murder their own daughters in the name of a god of their own imagination. 

JUSTICE rings true in the hearts of decent human beings. You just KNOW justice when you see it.
