Reply #67: There has never been justice anywhere.

Not consistently, at least. There was no "golden age" where justice was administered fairly. We pressed and pressed and forced them to be fairer, to cut back on the more obvious abuses, to level the playing field, and they pushed back.

There's no teleology. History does not advance towards ever greater heights of liberty, equality and fraternity. We fight and scrape for anything we can get. Throwing up our hands and saying "justice is dead" or "the banksters have all the power" is cowardly.
