Depends on what side of the 'law' you end up on. A social 'correction',
an individual penalty. Yet what is a society of not a bunch of individuals?
'Society' is always some business of this done in the name of that for
the benefit of some at the expense of others. Who pays, and who prospers
- depends on positions assumed - and ability to maintain and defend them.
To call it imperfect, is to misunderstand. It is perfect ignorance.
