what happens when justice and fairness diverge?

Fortunately I have a bit more confidence then you in our judiciary, especially where conflict of interest laws come in.
The simple fact that we codify that in our legal system tends to make it "superior" to many in the world that do not.

What many fail to realize is that we have a legal system, and while the results may not always be just or fair (with the understanding that just or fair is a thing that cannot be quantified in any realistic manner), we do at least have one of the best in the world.

Does this mean i don't bitch and moan, and complain about it...heh, the answer is no, I do that probably more the the average guy and more then likely at a louder volume and with more letters then normal.

In the end though I do appreciate the system we have and realize that the personal the little tweaks i would make to it could cascade into unimaginable error! Probably the only rule required for systems design is "Beware of unintended consequences"


But I will still bitch about it, in the end.
