The keyboard is mightier than the machine gun... The political, philosophical and general outpourings of a troubled soul living in Australia and blogging his Vietnam veteran's head off.
Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...

The counter shown below displays the number of Israeli military personnel refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. I applaud their integrity and their strength of character. To me they are heroes of peace and humanity.

I would start here, since this guy (John Rawls) has been famous for his writings on this topic for decades:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Justice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rawls
The concept of justice evolves over time, so what Plato thought is quite different to what Rawls thinks. For example, the concept of "fairness" is peculiar to modern western democracies.

Andrew, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard of the guy, but clearly he would have made an ace blogger. ;-)
Lemmiwinks, I think I'm with Metallica "note money falling from scales".
MegaCorp, MegaMoney, MegaPower, MegaWar, MegaInjustice...
We can see the problems, but where are the answers? And would the powerfreaks allow them to be implemented?
I might have to read Rawls et al.
actually, it is
Justice must be seen to be done
those responsible for it and for government too, just want to cover their arses to prevent having to actually BE responsible.
Stacksie, we need a revolution. :-)
