The acid test of any legal system is not the greatness or the grandeur of its ideal concepts, but whether, in fact, it is able to produce order and justice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education.
You have a good judicial system in the U.S., as you have learned from the Nixon-Watergate period.
The criminal justice system, like any system designed by human beings, clearly has its flaws.
The rules and principles of case law have never been treated as final truths but as working hypotheses, continually retested in those great laboratories of the law, the courts of justice. Every new case is an experiment, and if the accepted rule which seems applicable yields a result which is felt to be unjust, the rule is reconsidered.
If justice is supposed to be fair, than any justice system you would hope is based on fairness.
The law is only our best approximation of justice, and the law needs constant revision.
Justice must always question itself, just as society can exist only by means of the work it does on itself and on its institutions.
It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.
Law and justice are not always the same.
I never did acid, I am just so high anyway.
