> I'm a big fan of the justice system.

I've worked in the system for decade now. and I cannot agree. I feel nothing but regret, shame, and guilt most days. It's a cruel and vindictive system. Lady Justice carries a sword for a reason, and she loves to swing it.

I commonly refer to our system as the legal system for there is little justice.

Fair point. I mean, I'm a big fan of it in theory. Not so much in reality. It's still better than having no justice system.

I concur. I think the true issue is that no system can solve these types of problems. There will always be people who benefit more than others, and there will always be people who slip through the cracks.

I think our system is not the worst system available by any means. I just wish there was a bit more focus on impartiality and rehabilitation. I am not so sure why there is an obsession with punishment when data suggests it does not really deter people.

I wish we had a just justice system. But unfortunately, we just don't.

Look at Kissinger's peaceful unprosecuted death.
