  1. @pony Whilst I am all for order, the issue remains that law is supposed to be a tool to make justice easier, but the modern world seems bent on subjugating justice to law. A phrase I think explains it pretty well is "Law is to justice what a gun is to a cop. A gun doesn't make a cop, in the same way law doesn't make justice". And regardless of what consequences there might be, justice must be upheld. If "order" requires justice to be ignored to sustain itself, then that order doesn't deserve to be, and must be erased and remade. And the problem with letting people change the law is that inevitably it will only make things worse, since most of the time people aren't smart enough to see schemes and are easily herded to support a change that isn't in the best interest of justice.
