What do you guys think about the about quote? I need some ideas pretty quick because I am preparing a speech about it. I am somewhat stumped. So please give me your thoughts about justice etc. Thanks

Make sure to quote Aristotle or Plato. G-d they wrote a lot about what is justice.

A case in point for this quote would be the common position that it's ironic that Saddam has been removed for committing injustices, but it is very convenient that they also happen to control a good amount of oil in that region. Whereas, since we apparently had nothing of material value to gain, we did nothing in Rwanda.

I think it has to do with justice as a human right, not only for those who have something of value to offer, because if it is reserved only for the latter, sooner or later your government might ask why it should protect you, what do you have to offer?

I think the quote is getting at justice, not as policy based on some determined value, but as an an ideal worth defending in any case for its own sake.

Dear friends,

I have been browsing the internet for some time now and would like to let you know of this excellent webstite I visit sometimes:

http://www.logicalreality.com

It supports Freedom of thought, truth-seeking, sexual freedom, and open free debate about any of society's major issues in the early 21st century.

They have many different categories and some excellent articles worth reading - on issues such as:
Sexual freedom
Quest for eternity
Religious wars
Cultural Supremacy
Diversity versus normality

... and much MUCH more!

I hope it will appeal to you.

"Deprogramming a programmed world" is their slogan. as I am sure many of you will agree there are things in this world that need to be fixed

"Warning: This website contains realistic material and may not be appropriate for those wishing to retain delusions."
