What do you mean justice exists? Thats preposterous. Justice doesn't
exist. If it did there wouldn't be the words right and wrong. Well there
wouldn't be the word wrong anyway. If justice existed we wouldn't have a
justice system. Life is unfair. Life is unjust.
So the goal of a justice system is to deliver a fair and expedient remedy
for any injustice. But thats what he said.
