—“Justice was not, is not, and will not be”—(Macâh).
I am not so pessimistic. Too much evidence to the contrary. Moral men make moral justice. Immoral men fail to. The problem is in making moral men. And what I have learned this year, is that it is not so much a problem of making moral men, as in eliminating and preventing immoral men from existing.
So far, hanging appears to work best.

MORALITY VS LIBERTY
MORALITY: non-imposition of involuntary costs upon other individuals with whom you agree to cooperate.
LIBERTY: non-imposition of involuntary costs upon individuals by members of governments in the construction of commons.
HEROISM: voluntary contribution to the commons in exchange for honor (self assessment of status), and status.

@curtdoolittle I don’t make that claim, but merely that the freedom of capital to act on its own expenditure is ‘good’.

The only moral ‘good’ is prohibitive: refraining from the imposition of costs. All else accumulative is heroic, not moral.
