We set ourselves up as being whiter than white and everyone should run their countries as we do. Sadly when you look at us we are not so white and some of the things we do are abhorred by others. Like selling porn.

So a mentally ill man on death row is justice or not?

A poor man getting convicted because of his ability to pay for a lawyer is justice or not?

A man dying because he can't afford to pay for a surgeon is justice or not?

Putting the world to rights starts at home.

I will not even start on a man being judged on the color of his skin.

I was protesting against injustice years before most here were born, anti Vietnam war rallies in London. My conscience is clear.
