Of course not hehe



Laws and Morals are two completely different things here.

No..Morals and Law have nothing in common. Theres plenty of incidents where what's morally right is against the law.



Like they said, it's no longer Justice.

Can't share what I don't have at the moment. I was stating a relative fact, not something that is happening. I've been without for almost three weeks now. Good thing is, I have no dependance on it whatsoever, so it doesn't bother me. I know it's waiting for me when I get home.
