WHAT IS SOCIAL JUSTICE? If anything, it is an abstract, vague, and ultimately, meaningless term. How can two abstract words like social and justice be linked together in any coherently objective way? They can not... "social justice" means whatever any particular individual says it means, since it is an idea in someone's imagination of how the world should be. Who decides what is "socially" just or not?

Man vrs State: The Proper Role of Government
by John Russell Turner
IT IS INFORMATIVE TO ASK WHY MANKIND INVENTED GOVERNMENT. It’s not a difficult question to answer: we made government because it became clear to all of us that there were some who just wouldn’t follow the rules. Some people will cheat. Some will steal. Some will commit crimes, break contracts, smoke in public places…wait a minute, smoke in public places? Is that something any government should be concerned with?
Man invented government to give a group of people the power to enforce the law, and also, to run a military force.

The Latest Banality
It's getting to the point where if I see the phrase "spot on", I immediately begin to feel ill, so I ignore whatever else that person has written. Could all of you spot-on people out there read Orwell's Politics and the English Language, and let the things he writes about there influence your writing, instead of slavish imitation of celebrity jargon?
