There Is No Natural Impulse To Seek Any Philosophic Concept Of Justice At All (Except Reportedly In Discussions Amongst Lawyers); Although The Fights Against Injustice Are Universal, Those Aim At Preventing, Punishing, And Seeking Recompense For Harms. If One Accepts That A Harm Is Unacceptable To Society As A Whole, Law If There Supposedly To Prevent Those Harms For Occurring. Justice Under The Law, That Is, Rule Of Law, Has Always Been Subverted To Suit The Aims Of Those In Power, Who Mainly Are Focusing Only On Retaining Power. Punishments…
