I just came from seeing Martin Scorsese’s new movie The Departed. Not to give anything away, but in this cop drama so many things happen that bend the law and certainly make one wonder about the nature of justice (both legally and universally).
The particular pic of the scales of justice is a slightly updated version I found on the web. It seems appropriate in light of the fact that in today’s world there is so much that makes what is traditionally known as justice as is no longer considered such, i.e. Miranda Rights, the Geneva Convention Guidelines on Torture, etc.
I often come into odd discussion at my job on what I think are simple legal issues, but I often am given the look of, “Oh, how naive you are.”
Maybe I am too idealistic in my vision of justice in the world or maybe the world is just starting to have that social deterioration the Red States have been obsessed about for years.
But if it is the later, what does that say about those who are currently in power?
