I look at it this way muffin.  Different jobs require a different mindset.

Here is the simplest example.

The Public Defender NEEDS to be a hard core bleeding heart liberal, champion of the poor and opressed and all that.  Dem

The District Attorney, on the other hand, needs to be a straight and narrow, law and order kind of guy that will take no prisoners.  Rep

Other stuff isn't so clear cut but, hopefully, you get the idea.

So your opinion is that neither of them should be interested in justice?

My opinion is that both should be interested in their version of justice.

Remember the Indian saga of the blind men and the elephant.


It will balance out in the end.

You seem to look at justice as a function of the "last man standing" as opposed to some moral absolute.

No, I look at justice as that thing that normally lies between the 2 extremes. That is why I used the attorney example. Attorneys aren't interestested in justice anyway. They're interested in winning. period.

If you have 2 of opposite ilk working against each other, usually, it usually works out to something resembling justice.

Not a perfect system but it's the best available.

Welcome back tommy. Ive missed being a punkassedmotherfucker.

I post the dictionary definition of justice and you would prefer to ignor it in favor of your own made up definition "who can afford the best attorney" and have the temerity to claim that is as good as it gets.
Do you ever check your post for logic?
You have always been a punk ass motherfucker...I was just the first on this board to point it out to you.

From the employer's view, what makes the state any different from the private sector when it comes to the employer's right to require drug testing?

I worked in plenty of white collar jobs in the private sector that required drug testing, even though my job did not involve public safety. If I didnt like that, I was free to move along down the line and work somewhere else.

Why is the ACLU picking a fight now?

Actually, I looked under the definition of justice and it said something about you getting off your lazy welfare sucking stoner ass and working for once in your life.
