Reply #13: No deals from me. However, I fully expect America to deal away justice

[Solly Mack]

I don't define the Treaty of Versailles as justice...that was a deal.

And yes, I know justice has no place in the "real" world. Which is why countries that spout justice as a principle they adhere to really need to stop lying about it. They won't stop lying about it though. They can't - it helps to maintain the illusion.

But I wasn't talking about justice with my other comment - didn't mention it at all. I was talking about the lies people tell themselves in order to feel good about themselves and their politics. I know people will, I expect them to...but I don't have to agree with it and I don't have to like it.
