Why justice must be quantised 
Ebay and friends united, googledocs and google earth succeed because we each drive them from our unique perch in the framework. Not so the court system. Yes we may trust a Judge Sirica, Nixon’s nemesis over Watergate, or the hypothetical Justice Deed, avatar-judge both human and superhuman, but we are being conditioned by capitalism to demand rights here and now. We also know that our judges are part of the comfortable meritocracy, few living in semis, fewer in thin-walled estate apartments. Watching the shere cost of fallible justice to us the taxpayer, it is conceivable that conviction about natural justice will let not a few of us seek promotion to witness, judge, jury and punisher. Without benefit of defence or statement in mitigation. We see daily the horrendous offender unpunished, even rewarded in home circles. We see the American three strike policy effective, but at immense psychological costs to all players. We each have anonymous tools online, in mail, and in street contact. It is a tribute to enlightenment that they are so little used. But the failure of big government to have a working home office or even weed out its own corrupted is pushing the aggrieved into anger, the victims toward destabilising vengeance.
