For millions of years we have evolved to adapt and survive, and we instinctively know that some things are good and some are not. Justice is Good. Injustice is Bad.

Since forever in this country, stupid laws have been enacted with the sole purpose of putting behind bars as many people as possible. Judges send droves of people to dungeons for offences that, in a real justice system, would not even require a night in jail.

People rot in cages for shoplifting while all the money wizards who crashed the economy just a few years ago fly free as birds. This is not Justice.
