A PROBLEM OF 'BIBLICAL' PROPORTIONS?
Why do you continue to invite punishment? Must you rebel forever? Your head is injured, and your heart is sick. - Isaiah 1:5
CONUNDRUM:
Man's capacity for justice makes democracy impossible; man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.
(My variation on Reinhold Niebuhr's quote)
THE ORIGINAL:
Man's capacity for justice makes democracy POSSIBLE; but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary."
"Reforming our prosecutorial system is no longer just a proposition—it is an urgent imperative, a rallying cry that reverberates across the arc of justice, demanding immediate, transformative action.
This is not about making incremental adjustments or tweaking the system; it is a clarion call for a seismic shift in our prosecutorial decision-making framework."

Highest ranking in personal freedoms were Sweden (9.45) and the Netherlands (9.28). In 2020, United States has dropped to rank 17 according to The Human Freedom Index. The Freedom Index does not measure democracy, but it does measure freedom of speech and media, press killings, political imprisonment, etc.
