What does justice mean to the environment or future generations? Like all other ideals, justice is about personal perception.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

As a newbie, I should warn readers I fall into the "right-wing- fundamental Christian" sort and view things through this lens. That said...

I disagree with the idea that justice is about personal perception. If that is true, Saddam was just in his actions, Hitler in his, bin Ladin in his, and so on. No, justice, as stated at the beginning of this thread, is a cardinal virtue. I believe this to mean a universal moral base from which we all ought to agree.

Now that is the key word, ought. What we humans do and what we ought to do is very different is it not??
