    Yes but even if we had perfectly just laws (we don’t); we still would not have a justice system but a slightly more fair legal system (which by definition would always favor the powerful over the vulnerable).

    If we are to choose laws, we best choose laws that limit harm by badly behaved individuals but don’t limit the actions of those who are reasonable and considerate of others.
