"He Vividly Describes Where Injustice Ends: With The Young First Offender Flung Into Jail With Hardened Criminals Who Tutor Him In A Life Of Crime. With A Rich Landlord Being Fined A Small Sum For Tax Evasion While A Frightened, Ignorant Debtor Is Hounded By The Creditors' Collection Agency, The Courts. And With Disaffected Minorities Convinced That Justice Is The Preserve Of Those Who Are White And Well-To-Do. If That Is Where Justice Ends, Where, The Author Asks, Does It Begin? It Begins With Courts That Favor The Rich Over The Poor, With Judges Dependent Upon Politicians Who Obtained Their Appointments, With Mediocre Lawyers Who Neglect Their Clients, With An Apathetic Public And Pess That Have Become Morally Blind." Fortunately, Since 1973, The Media Have Corrected These Problems By Focusing Attention On The Professional Ineptitude Of Those Particular Persons Who Have In Particular Failed To Provide Equal Justice; The Schools Have Educated Americans To The Point Where Every Student Both Understands The Problems, And Understands Their Personal Moral Responsibility To Prevent The Abuse Of Power In Self Interest; And Politicians Have Worked Together Tirelessly To Come To Agreements On New Legal Standards To Prevent Future Abuses. Yes, We Live In The Best Of All Possible Worlds, Candide! Partisan Politics And Ambitious Sociopaths Have Saved Us!
