Justice in the eyes of the law, I think that should be pursued thoroughly. Social justice? Yes I think it's good to do right by others, as it's the only way society can really move forward and mankind can progress. Personal justice is a whole different thing. Sometimes, yes it's worth it. Otherwise somethings should just be left in the past. This isn't really so much an atheism question once you take religion out of it, it's more a philosophy thing.

Legem terrae (lex terrae is more proper but does not sound as cool)...the law of the land. Social justice in a way has become the law of the land IMO.

I don't know how it is so much in other countries, but it's certainly heading there in America.

But then to better answer your question, yeah I believe the law should be followed (so long as it doesn't infringe on your rights, or if not following the law isn't going to hurt anyone...[Image: icon_weed.gif]...teehee) and legal justice should be pursued.
You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
