Subject: RE: BS: A nation founded on injustice?
Stringsinger, human societies are founded on both justice AND injustice. There are continual efforts and sincere intentions happening in both directions, just as there are in the breasts of all living humans. It is the struggle between the two, the struggle between light and darkness, that provides most of the drama and challenge in our lives.
If you can see only one of them occurring in a nation, though, you're missing half the picture.
I agree that bloodshed perpetrated by and on behalf of governments always arises out of (or as a reaction to) some form of injustice.
