it would be naive...

...for anyone to think that our "justice" system really is one. it is more accurately a battleground where battles are fought. not all the battles are fair. some are armed with sticks and slingshots...while others are armed with missles and tanks and seemingly endless resources.

I think we are in a downward spiral where justice is going to be less and less the fruit of our justice system.

Ours is not the first society to experience this. it won't be the last either.

I need to go back and revisit history. do hard economic times generally elicit more...or less freedom...more or less abuse by the government of its citizenry?
