Man is a wolf to man. But unlike wolves, he knows it. And also, unlike wolves, being a tool-builder, he made himself a tool to enable him to live with his fellow men. And he calls it *Law*.
And where that tool is broken is called Darfur and Somalia and Cambodia and Rwanda and Congo and Kenya and more than a few other places.
You don’t like judges telling juries what the legislature said the law is? Darfur is just the place for you."

Completely off-topic but you know where it comes from:
"Justice? “Twe’re justice done who’d ’scape whipping?”

NK, I love it when you talk this way.
Thank you, DRJ. But I think I misplaced the first apostrophe in the quote.
Well then I take it all back. That apostrophe made all the difference ... Not.
It looks fine to me. Are you one of those perfectionists or do you just like to tickle my funny bone?
Not at all, DRJ. It's a quote from Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" and I did it from memory. I now have trepidations about rewriting the Bard.
