That too.. We need to restore the "justice is blind" concept.Its not the guys stealing hubcaps or smoking a joint, or putting graffiti on walls that are the problem.
Its the white collar crime where multiple millions (or billions) are involved.
Corporate crime, the big guys in the international drug, arms, and human trafficking trade, varios scams in trading shares, for example.
The guys with the corporate jets that have people murdered or pay off judges and prosecutors to fix the justice system.
It includes kings, presidents, and heads of state, wherever big money and power is involved.
Lobbyists that bribe Congress to knowingly pass unjust laws.
Those guys will never see the inside of a court room, they are wealthy and connected enough to "fix" any embarrassing problems without ever getting personally involved.
Judges should not be appointed by politicians at any level.. they should be voted in, and they should require not just a majority vote, but a clear majority.
We have a lot of problems to work on, and our technology is outpacing pretty much every other aspect of our society's evolution. I'm confident we'll get through it, but it's probably going to be a rough ride.
