JAPAN: Dear Mr. Vance, the main problem of Japan and all other countries, or, rather, their populations and their governments is that they are territorially organized and motivated - without considering how the alternative to territorialism, namely exterritorial autonomy for all communities, societies and governance systems or full experimental freedom in every sphere - or consistent voluntarism - instead of the monopolism of all territorial governments, or full freedom of contract and association, including individual and group secessionism - would greatly affect the problems which territorial regimes now make for each other, their countries and their populations. All people, who remain blind to this alternative, will remain blind to the rightful solutions that are inherent in this alternative. - It is somewhat described by various writers, especially at www.panarchy.org  and www.butterbach.net - Alas, I can't send you the time, interest and energy to browse through these sites. - Fichte, Spencer and Molinari came close to this solution, P. E. de Puydt described it more clearly and since then quite a few writers have made a case for it. Maybe you will come to find it interesting as well. – JZ, in response to Laurance M. Vance, FFF Commentaries, 14.11.12: The Japan Problem. – I should have referred also to the ancient personal law tradition, fractionally continued even in our time. – JZ, 15.11.12. – JAPAN PROBLEM

JAPAN: Did You Know: The real reasons Japan has a low crime rate: Japanese police routinely search citizens at will and twice a year pay "home visits" to citizens' residences. –  After arrest a suspect may be detained without bail for up to 28 days before a prosecutor must bring him before a judge.” - Secrets of the Sentient - CRIME RATE

JAPAN: Did You Know: The real reasons Japan has a low crime rate: Suspect confession rate in Japan is 95%. – Suspects who insist on standing trial have no right to a jury. - Japanese trial conviction rate is 99.91% - Amnesty International has called the Japanese police custody system a "flagrant violation of United Nations human right principles." - Secrets of the Sentient. -  CRIME RATE

JAPAN: Did You Know: The real reasons Japan has a low crime rate: - The Tokyo Bar Association has states that Japanese police routinely "engage in torture or illegal treatment. Even in cases where suspects claimed to have been tortured and their bodies bore physical traces to back their claims, courts have still accepted their confessions." - Secrets of the Sentient. - CRIME RATE

JAPAN: Without any extensive and expensive "defence preparedness" Japanese people saved much since 1945. How many dollars per head did the average Japanese save, per annum, or per decade, from 1945 - 1995, by not being forced to contribute to any significant Japanese "defence" preparations? That is one part-explanation for the economic "miracle" of Japan since WW II. - JZ, 24.10.95, 27.10.02. - ECONOMIC MIRACLE, TAX BURDEN OF MILITARISM, DEVELOPMENT

JEALOUSY: A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.” - Robert Heinlein, Lazarus Long.

JEALOUSY: He was one of those fidelity fanatics. His jealousy amounted to a mania - the usual disease induced by the unnatural state of monogamy. … It's the insistence on 'rights' that wrecks marriages. This devastating possessiveness men and women drag into their relationships with each other. As though anybody can ever hope to hold the sole copyright in anyone else!” - Ethel Mannin, Crescendo, 1928-1937, p.56/57. - MARRIAGE, MONOGAMY, FIDELITY, SEXUAL FREEDOM & SELF-OWNERSHIP & COPYRIGHT FOR CHILDREN

JEALOUSY: In jealousy there is more self-love than love.” - La Rochefoucauld. - Another version: “There's more self-love in jealousy than love.” - La Rochefoucauld, Reflexionen & moralische Sentenzen, p.39. - If your beloved has found a better love with someone else than with you, you should be happy for her or him and let them go! And if you feel superior to his or her new love then, maybe, you put up the image of your beloved too high and should say then: good riddance of him or her, since they weren't really what you believed them to be. - You don't own people. Let them go if they want to. If there are children, come to a sensible agreement that respects the right of children to have access to both parents. - JZ, 30.4.00. –- LOVE & INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY

JERUSALEM: In its long and war-torn history is one of classical cases demonstrating the wrongfulness and irrationality of territorialism. – JZ, 18. & 23.2.12. – Beirut’s recent civil war history offers another outstanding example. – JZ, 13.4.12. - TERRITORIALISM

JESUS CHRIST: And the day will come, when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His Father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva, in the brain of Jupiter.” - Thomas Jefferson. - CHRISTIANITY

JESUS CHRIST: Every newborn Child a Jesus Christ: with the right to demand that we do not place it in a hell full of war, civil war, terrorism, crime, inflation, deflation, despotism, mass murder devices, pollution, etc., i.e., the right to demand that we clean up our act - and respect all its individual rights and liberties, as well as those of all other people. - JZ, 4.11.94, 10.5.13. – NEWBORN BABIES, CHILDREN’S RIGHTS

JESUS CHRIST: He was … what we call an artist and a Bohemian in His manner of Life.” – G. B. Shaw, quoted in H. L. Mencken, Prejudices, First Series, p.187.

JESUS CHRIST: I didn’t think anyone would mind (in San Francisco) when I pointed out that the available evidence tended to indicate that Jesus was gay. – But there were cries of rage from two groups: a) gays; b) non-gays. I was lucky to get out of town.” – Robert Heinlein, To Sail Beyond the Sunset, p.208. - JESUS CHRIST A HOMOSEXUAL?

JESUS CHRIST: Jesus became a sort of honorary non-Jew. Even a sort of pagan God – resurrected from the dead in a completely un-Jewish way.” – Ian Watson, Oracle, p.136/137. – Christian antisemitism, still wide-spread, is a uniquely illogical development. But only one of the absurdities of the various faiths that call themselves Christian ones. – JZ, 11.9.07. - CHRISTIANITY & JEWS

JESUS CHRIST: Many people have looked upon Jesus as a true theist, whose religion has been by degrees corrupted. Indeed in the books which contain the law which is attributed to him, there is no mention either of worship, or of priests, or of sacrifices, or of sufferings, or of the greater part of the doctrines of actual Christianity, which has become the most prejudicial of all the superstitions of the earth.” - Denis Diderot (1713-1784), Footnote to d'Holbach's The System of Nature (1770). - CHRISTIANITY, RELIGION, CHURCHES, FAITH, BELIEF, BIBLE, WORSHIP, PRIESTS

JESUS CHRIST: On the Jesus "miracle" of feeding 5,000 people with 5 loaves and fishes: Travel was slow and eateries rare, so people usually traveled taking their own food supplies along, just like picknickers and back packers do today. Just in case, they probably took along more than was really needed for the expected duration. When Jesus, in the center of the meeting, offered to share his few staples, he simply set and example and gave a signal. Possibly uttered a few suitable words, too. But it was hardly necessary to "ring a dinner bell" after a long sermon. Most others pooled their food resources likewise and thus there was enough and more than enough for all of them. Most likely much food was left over, just as happens now in many parties, to which people bring some food and drinks. No miracle. Just a custom, tradition and necessity. - JZ, 15.4.89, 28.10.02. - MIRACLES, CHRISTIANITY, BIBLICAL MYTHS

JESUS CHRIST: Reason was the only divine word for Lichtenberg. Even as a schoolboy in Darmstadt he had never been able to persuade himself that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and later it seemed to him that the belief in the divinity of Christ was preposterous. “Do you believe that thorny hedges have borne oranges? No. Good, and you believe that there have been men who were God’s son? Yes. O merciful God, how low can your gift of reason sink! What a poor instrument reason is!” – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, quoted in: Carl Brinitzer, A Reasonable Rebel, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1960, p. 147. -JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD? CHRISTIANITY & REASON:

JESUS CHRIST: The thing I have always had trouble understanding about that ... is that God choose such an inefficient away of spreading this vital piece of information. I mean, there's Jesus Christ plonked down in a primitive society without even a phone system. Here's this guy with this incredibly important message - you can only be saved if you believe in Me as the son of God - and then the only way He can spread this message is on foot. Not much help to those who would have loved to be saved but who died of natural causes before the vital message reached their village ... Not exactly very fair on them, is it?” - John Brosnan, The Opoponax Invasion, p.187.

JESUS: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. – Jesus - Roy Halliday, Quotations with an Attitude, online. -  Can his body and mind not be defiled by any poison, including at least excess smoking of weeds and drinking alcoholic or otherwise poisoned liquids, by smoke inhalation or drowning, by bacteria or viruses that enter it and is he defiling himself when he is bleeding a bit, loses a finger, is sweating, weeping, spitting (in an appropriate space), wiping his nose, or excreting the remnants of his food intake or when he his making love and ejaculates? – I suspect that this is not what he really said for he was neither a fool nor without common sense. – Most of what he has really said has, probably, not come upon us. All his remarks in the Bible come only to about 33 hours of speaking, according to my friend Ulrich von Beckerath, a mathematician and statistician. Jesus Christ kept no diary or lecture notes and his supposed father was unreliable in dictating or note-taking, keeping records and accurately preserving and publishing them. - JZ, 24.3.12. –RELIGIOUS DOGMAS, CHRISTIANITY, BIBLE, HOLY BOOKS, GOD, CHRIST

JEWS: A people uncontaminated by the New Testament, but who, unfortunately, have not escaped the attentions of those who are.” - Chaz Bufe, THE AMERICAN HERETIC'S DICTIONARY, 34. – Christian anti-Semites manage to forget that Christ was also a Jew. – Unfortunately, they, too, although among the most intelligent people on Earth, still subscribe, in most cases, to territorialism and collective responsibility notions and practices. - JZ, 20.9.13. - CHRISTIANITY, INTOLERANCE, ANTISEMITISM, ISRAEL, PALESTINE

JEWS: Anti-Semitism is the Socialism of fools.” - August Bebel, Antisemitismus und Sozialdemokratie, October 27, 1893. - JUDAISM, ISRAEL, RACISM, RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE, PREJUDICES

JEWS: Antisemites say in essence: Since we cannot attain to the intelligence and achievements of a Jew, let us to avenge ourselves by abusing him. – August Bebel said: "Anti-Semitism is the socialism of fools." - I would rather say: Anti-Semitism is a form of confiscatory and murderous socialism, based on envy and held by fools and under-achievers. - JZ, 6.4.99. – Even the Nazis, with their pretended special racial knowledge, could not distinguish between Jews and Germans and so they forced all German Jews to wear a special sign on their clothing, in public, thereby turning them into government-sanctioned hate-objects and scapegoats. – At least in my home-town, Berlin, there were enough decent people around to save the lives of 5,000 Jews. Many more than 5000 Berliners must have been involved in this, although they did risk their lives in the process. - JZ, 15.1.09. - ANTI-SEMITISM

JEWS: He who steals from a non-Jew is bound to make restitution to the non-Jew; it is worse than to steal from a non-Jew than to steal from an Israelite because of the profanation of the Name.” - T. J. Baba Kamma, 10:15. – “To cheat a Gentile is even worse than cheating a Jew, for besides being a violation of the moral law, it brings Israel's religion into contempt, and desecrates the name of Israel's God.” - Baba Kamma, 113b. - Do other religions contain such exhortations in favor of foreigners? - JZ, 25.6.92. - HONESTY, FRAUD, JUDAISM

JEWS: How odd of God to choose the Jews.” – William Norman Ewer, 1885-1976, Week-End Book, 1924. – The myth of the chosen people is not confined to Jews. Its equivalent can be found in almost all ethnic, racial, ideological and religious groups. – JZ, 10.5.13. - GOD, NATIONALISM, RACISM, THE MYTH OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE.

JEWS: It is to Jews that we owe the advantages of international finance. … A people without a country have escaped some of the limitations of nationalism, and a Jew will trust a Jew more readily than a Frenchman and Englishman or an Italian a Spaniard. The Jews may be said to constitute a special sort of League of Nations of their own, resting not upon paper formulae but on the firmer foundation of a natural ability to understand and trust one another. We need go back little more than a century to find families of Jews, not only the great houses whose names are household words, but many thousands of unknown Jewish families spread all over the world, serving the manufacturers and traders of the world by reason of the credit or confidence which was and still is their special contribution to progress.” - Ernest Benn, Debt, 12.4.30. - NATIONALISM, COSMOPOLITANISM, INTERNATIONALISM, EXTERRITORIALITY, PANARCHISM, WORLD FEDERATION, UNITED NATIONS, FREE TRADE, INTERNATIONAL FINANCE

JEWS: Jesus Christ was a Jew - so how, by Christ, can Christians manage to be antisemites? And yet all too many do. - JZ, 25.4.00. - ANTISEMITISM & CHRISTIANITY, COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY, Q.

JEWS: JEWISH AUTONOMY, LITHUANIA: Scepter of Judah: the Jewish autonomy in the eighteenth-century  - by Judith Kalik & Yehudit Kalik, - books.google.com › Business & Economics › - Taxation › General -‪Judith Kalik, ‪Yehudit ali - 0 Reviews - Brill‬, ‪15/09/2009‬ - ‪404 pages‬ - Polish-Lithuanian Jewry was the center of the early modern Jewish world, and the most outstanding symbol of its glory was the famous Jewish autonomy. In spite of the considerable attention that scholars have paid to the Council of the Four Lands, surprisingly little information was available from the Jewish autonomous institutions in the Polish-Lituanian Commonwealth. This changed, however, with the discovery of the complete corpus of Jewish poll-tax lists from 1717-1764. The present book is based upon the analysis of these new sources, which supply a diachronic dimension, about half a century in duration, to systematic data about the Jewish population in Poland. It provides the full statistical information in the form of tables and is supplemented with a series of maps. - No eBook available.

JEWS: JEWS AMONG NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS: Jews are not even 1 percent of the world’s population and only 3 percent of the U.S. population, but they are 20 percent of the world’s Nobel Prize winners and 39 percent of American Nobel winners. That’s a gross statistical disparity. Is the Nobel committee discriminating in favor of Jews, or are Jews engaging in an educational conspiracy against the rest of us?  By the way, during Germany’s Weimar Republic, Jews were only 1 percent of the German population, but they were 10 percent of the country’s doctors and dentists, 17 percent of its lawyers, and a large percentage of its scientific community. Jews won 27 percent of Nobel Prizes won by Germans. – Walter E. Williams, THE FREEMAN, Nov. 12. - Facebook, 9.11.12. – Is anti-Semitism, like jealousy, also based upon envy towards the more intelligent, competitive and successful people? – JZ, 9.11.12. – Q.

JEWS: Jews are Arabs that believe in an older religion. - JZ, 25.8.93. – How many Islamic sects are there and how many Jewish ones? Is there any racial distinction between Jews and Arabs? - ARABS, JUDAISM, ISLAM, RACISM, OR RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE?

JEWS: That Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.” - William Blake. - Neither Jews nor Christians have a monopoly on the myth of the chosen people. - JZ, 30.6.00. - CHRISTIANS & OTHER "CHOSEN PEOPLE"

JEWS: The Jews are a race apart. They have made laws according to their own fashion and keep them.” - Celsus: A True Discourse, c.178. - They are personal laws and chosen laws - for one can secede from their communities. - JZ, 10.7.86. - Self-chosen laws are much more likely to be kept. - JZ, 28.10.02. – They are much more a group of various religious beliefs and community traditions held together by a common history and literature than a separate race. Just like Englishmen, North Americans, Spaniards, Italians, Germans, Australians, New Zealanders, Frenchmen and Irishmen are not each a different race but just somewhat different mixtures of different but related tribes. – JZ, 15.1.09, 10.5.13. - PERSONAL LAW, AUTONOMY, PANARCHISM

JEWS: There is no greater compliment to the Jews than the fact that the degree of their unpopularity is always the scientific measure of the cruelty and silliness of the regime under which they live.” - Sinclair Lewis. - ANTI-SEMITISM

JEWS: Whoever renounces idol worship may be called a Jew.” - Megillah, p.132. - Not every Deist, Atheist, Agnostic, Rationalist, Humanist is a Jew. - JZ, 28.10.02. – According to one of the latest emails I received, there are now ca. 35,000 different organized religious faiths on earth. Surely, the law of diminishing returns must apply to them as well, unless they have something really ethical or otherwise valuable to offer? I haven’t come across any that appealed to me in this way and do not expect that I ever will. – JZ, 15.1.09. - IDOL WORSHIP, RELIGION, ATHEISM, RELIGIONS, SECTS

JOB CREATION: 114,000 new jobs isn't even enough to keep up with population growth, so how could it cause unemployment to go down? Truth is it can't. What is more likely is that more people have dropped out of the labor pool (have stopped looking for work) and/or have gone back to school (fall semester started last month). No conspiracy theory here, just illustrating how underreporting is possible. - The Bastiat Society - John Zube : Money seen as a clearing certificate, issued and used to facilitate free exchanges, is always the recognition of a debt and the readiness to clear off this debt with one's goods, services or labor. If provided as a loan, it should be considered to be pre-done and productive labor, which is also entitled to a fair return, corresponding to market prices for such a service. The debt repayment obligation itself, if short-term, enforces the reflux to the issuer and thereby keeps it at par with its nominal value. If it were issued for medium or long-term loans, then the reflux of it, in debt repayments to the issuer would not be strong enough to keep it at par. Nor would the issuer then have always the sufficient goods and services to offer or credits, due to be repaid, to redeem with them all the notes so issued. Loans on medium and long-terms should, therefore, be made only from savings, not through additional note issues, which require "shop foundation", "tax foundation" or "contribution foundation", “readiness to accept” or “clearing foundation”. A "cover" through government debt certificates (investments in tax slaves) was always wrong and irrelevant, as well as insufficient, in spite of the governmental "guaranty" involved, especially if the notes issued are a forced currency (legal tender with compulsory acceptance and a forced value), i.e. a step toward inflation. All the flawed statements on money should be combined in a digitized reference work and confronted with their best refutations. A step in this direction is offered in my free banking A to Z at www.panarchy.org. Others will have to complete this job. – Facebook, 6.10.12. – How many job seekers and “job creators”, including employers, have ever seriously considered and explored the monetary and financial freedom alternatives? – There are almost as many flawed monetary and financial utopias as there are religious ones. Full monetary and financial freedom for all their volunteers is required to sort out this mess. – Persuasion attempts alone and textual scholarship will not do it on their own. - JZ, 10.5.13. - FULL EMPLOYMENT VS.

JOB LEVY: All job levy attempts are conceptually wrong. The money levied does already provide jobs, the natural way. Those jobs are provided which the consumers want. These jobs are destroyed by the job levy. Moreover, these jobs are productive and self-supporting jobs, in which the employed really earn their way and please voluntary buyers of their goods and services. By taking these funds from these channels, the job levy first destroys job opportunities. Then it provides, some jobs, indeed, but often only unproductive bureaucratic jobs and other more or less unproductive jobs, all by people mostly unwilling to work hard in them and make them their career. It is another form of pyramid building. In balance more jobs and more productive efforts are destroyed thereby than are provided. Good intentions and misleading terms are not a substitute for rightful and positive actions. The term merely expresses the all too wide-spread fallacy that money spent by governments does provide jobs and that the same money, if left in private hands and spent by them, does not. Bureaucrats and politicians do not and cannot "create" productive jobs, not even at your expense. They destroy jobs and severely burden the remaining jobs. But they do manage to get themselves fat cat jobs at your expense. I would not call that a creative action. - JZ, 17.12.93. 23.8.95, 25.5.97, 10.5.13. - All that has been said about job levies does also apply to unemployment "insurance". Unemployment, being caused by government intervention, is not an insurable list.  Interventionism and its harmful consequences can rise to almost any degree. Only the abolition of interventionism with production and exchange can end the unemployment and other troubles that it causes. - JZ, 17.9.02, 20.9.13. – MONETARY & FINANCIAL FREEDOM, INSTEAD OF FURTHER GOVERMENTAL MEDDLING, FREE MARKET MONIES, FREE BANKING

JOB LEVY: Any funds forcefully levied by a governments and then distributed by it under the pretence that it would thereby provide extra jobs, will tend to provide less jobs and less productive jobs than would have been provided if the funds had remained in the hands who rightfully earned or owned them and who are the only ones entitled to invest them. Nevertheless, tax- and public works proposals are going on and on, mistaking the intention or even the name for the results and ignoring the other side of the coin. - JZ, 22.11.93, 10.5.13.

JOB LEVY: If $ 3 billion could be taken from the remaining employed, without thereby creating new unemployment, then why not 30 billion or 300 billion? Actually, the tax levy or penalty - on the remaining jobs - could be made so large that no one could be employed any longer. However, already any tax on employment, no matter how small, tends to destroy jobs or prevents new jobs from coming into existence. Any job levy or other tax is a penalty upon employment and renders labor to that extent uneconomical. These wrongs and damages are not balanced out by a few more jobs for bureaucrats and other subsidized, i.e. not self-supporting jobs. - JZ, 14.12.97, 25.5.97. – TAXATION, NEGATIVE INCENTIVES, PENALTIES UPON EMPLOYERS & EMPLOYED

JOB LEVY: In Australia, some time ago, a job levy of $ 3 billion was proposed. As usual, at the expense of the tax-payers, as a result of further public debt or as a result of further inflation of the State paper money of the Reserve bank. In all these forms purchasing power and job opportunities would simply be shifted but with the disadvantage that the thus expropriated would, to that extent, not be able to finance with their money wanted and productive jobs. Instead, the bureaucrats would buy with these funds, raised by the tax tribute levies or the inflation tax, less wanted and less productive jobs, in new pyramid building efforts. These would be showcases for people to gawk at and builders to boast about but with only a few comprehending all their costs in lost opportunities or their destructiveness of property rights, jobs and liberties. If, instead of this $ 3 billion job levy, the government would have declared that the retailers of Australia and all its other service providers would between them be set at liberty to issue, $ 30 billion worth of shop currency, at any time, if only they could manage, by their readiness to accept it, to keep it at par with its stated sound value standard (that would exclude the paper "standard" of the government's Reserve Bank), then it would have no objection. On the contrary, the government should invite the retailers to make short term loans with these notes to all potential employers for the employment of additional employees, paid only in this kind of private or cooperative money, at market rates or, perhaps, even at a slight increase to make them more ready to accept such alternative local currency in wage and salary payments. Assuming that there are 10 million employed in Australia, all at an average weekly wage, this would require a weekly wage bill of ca. $ 5 billion. Assuming 1 million unemployed in Australia, their additional wage bill, if employed, would come only to $ 500 million a week. Much more exists in ready for sale goods and services for shop foundation money. But, naturally, no more should be issued than could be spent for ready for sale goods and services, and upon the immediate payment for productive jobs, that would continuously replace goods currently consumed and keep up currently wanted services. Woolworth department stores on their own have a turnover of ca. $ 10-15 billion p.a., let us say 1 billion per month and for Coles/Meyer the figures are similar. (By 2002 both have turnovers of around A $20 - 25 billion, p.a.) The total turnover of retailers in Australia is very roughly estimated by me to come to somewhere between $ 150 & 250 billion p.a. It may actually be much higher. And that would only be the basis for shop-foundation currencies, not for all the other monetary freedom options. I am waiting for someone, like a national retailers association, to provide me and all other Australians with more correct figures. But for the time being these hints may have to do. Under easy sales for goods and services, the total weekly and annual turnovers could soon become much larger. Shop currency issues would not have to be the equivalents to annual turnovers but at most only to weekly to quarterly turnovers. The same amounts, in different issues, could be issued over and over again and increased to the extent that the shop foundation - or other foundation - would be increased and that more sound currency would be wanted in circulation - or its equivalents in deposits, cheques, credit card arrangements etc. The government's one-off job levy of $ 3 billion and the spending of this money over a period, would be quite puny, even if it had only positive and no negative effects at all - something that is certainly not the case. - JZ, n.d. & 24.5.97, 10.5.13, 20.9.13.

JOB LEVY: Just because a tax, payable in exclusive and forced currency, is called a "job levy" and there may be every honest intention to spend the money so taxed only upon the "creation" of new jobs or their financing, does not mean that its levying and its spending will not destroy existing jobs or prevent them from coming into existence or from being maintained. Essentially only a TRANSFER is involved of potential wage payment means, from one group of workers to another. In balance only the bureaucratic jobs might become further increased in the process, and this only by impoverishing all people working in productive jobs. Make-work schemes rarely support their costs, far less are they profitable, as a rule. They are no substitutes for market supplied and needed jobs, paid for by the exchange media and in the value standards of monetary freedom. - JZ, 14.12.93, 1.5.97, 20.9.13.

JOB LEVY: Lift the job levy high enough - and you won't have any jobs left to levy anything on. - JZ, 28.11.93, 24.5.97.

JOB OWNERSHIP: Only a coop member owns his job, unless or until boycotting customers of the coop fire him, indirectly. – JZ, 24.10.03. – When the shares of a company are, largely, in the hands of its employees then they own their jobs as well. – JZ, 6.1.09. - JOB SECURITY, PRODUCTIVE COOPERATIVES, SELF-MANAGEMENT, PURCHASE OF ENTERPRISES BY THEIR EMPLOYEES, ON TERMS

JOB PROTECTION: Protecting jobs is a bad idea. - If you protect a job you attack the consumer. - Legislation to protect labor is merely a recipe for poverty.” – Prof. Jan Narveson, 25.7.04. – “Social justice” is undemocratic and anti-social towards the consumers.” – JZ, 6.1.09. - LABOR LAWS, LABOR PRIVILEGES, UNIONS, CONSUMER SOVERREIGNTY – IN EVERY SPHERE!

JOBS: Are jobs obsolete? - www.cnn.com - As if the monopoly post offices existed for the benefit of their workers or their customers! - With email we are already close to teleporting our letters: If we could do so merely by an act of will, should we subsidize all present postal workers indefinitely, doing nothing, or should we demand that they take up productive work, which we, as sovereign consumers, would be willing to pay for, preferably with our own kind or self-chosen competing currency? – JZ, 13.9.11. – While some old jobs are becoming obsolete, some new jobs are ever increasing. E.g., cloth handkerchiefs have become obsolete – but are we short of tissues in great varieties? Pens and fountain pens are largely obsolete – but we got a multitude of different and powerful keyboards. How many different kinds of jobs are there now, compared with those of about a century ago? Maybe half a million against a prior 5,000? And these new jobs require more and more people to fill them. They will just have to learn new skills and move closer to their new jobs. At most, our working time to support ourselves - and our families - will become shortened with the help of good tools, machines, automatons and robots. – JZ, 9.10.12, 14.1.13. – That would certainly be no reason to complain, especially when the ownership of such equipment is not monopolized. – JZ, 20.9.13. - UNEMPLOYMENT, NEW JOBS, MACHINES, ROBOTS, AUTOMATIONS, Q.

JOBS: Jobs for immigrants? When the "white" man came to Australia, there was not a single paying job waiting for him. We created the millions of jobs existing now. So could the modern immigrants, if free to do so. - JZ, 20.8.95. - When Australia was first settled by white immigrants, the new settlers were hindered by many less laws restricting job opportunities, free enterprise and free exchange than Australian "democratic" institutions have imposed since. - I know of no systematic survey of all the laws of all nations, which do, legally block free production and free exchange, cause unemployment, bankruptcies, inflations, deflations, stagflation and all too much poverty.

JOBS: Jobs performance hits 20-year low. Losses outweigh gains. – BY PETER MARTIN, economics correspondent, in THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 20.1.12. – “A SURPRISE decision by retailers to shy away from the usual Christmas practice of hiring extra workers has given Australia the worst jobs performance in two decades, sparking talk of two more interest rate cuts within months.” – IF a single worker only COULD produce or supply all the consumer goods and services needed by Australians, also the capital goods, could maintain the latter or renew them and could also distribute them all over Australia, then the “jobs performance” in Australia would be enormously INCREASED. That we managed to do the jobs with less people than before was not a failure! Only the full employment policy failed. Involuntary unemployment remained and with it a lower standard of living than could be achieved if all able and willing to work were productively employed. – The language of journalists does often more misinform than inform. – Full monetary and financial freedom alternatives, as usual, were not mentioned at all. - JZ, 10.2.12 & 12.10.12, 20.9.13. - MISLEADING LANGUAGE USE OF JOURNALISTS, EMPLOYMENT, “JOBS PERFORMANCE” & UNEMPLOYMENT, FULL EMPLOYMENT SEEN AS A PURPOSE IN ITSELF

JOBS: Unshackle The Job Creators - Investors.com - www.investors.com - Mark Steyn. – It is NOT lack of CAPITAL that causes most of the involuntary mass unemployment, but, rather, lack of SOUND EXCHANGE media, i.e., of FREE MARKET MONEY of ALL kinds. For, roughly, the same volume of total capital existed before and after periods of mass unemployment. Is that obvious only to me? Naturally, if we had already perfect clearing, using sound value standards, then physical exchange media would not be needed at all. But both sound alternatives are largely outlawed, while monetary and financial despotism remain legalized. – JZ, 20.7.11, on Facebook. - & FULL EMPLOYMENT VS.

JOKES: Have you heard of libertarian salad? It's called: "lettuce alone!" - Quoted by Advocates for Self-Government, 9/95. - Freedom is not joking matter but that does not mean that we should not collect and publish jokes directed against the enemies of rights and liberties and promoting thinking about rights and liberties. All pro-freedom jokes would probably still not fill a single CD. - JZ, 26.1.02. - About half a MB of libertarian jokes are online as part of my SLOGANS FOR LIBERTY compilation. Since then I have compiled over 400 Kbs of more such jokes. - There are so many and varied joke collections around, in book-form. Why is there, so far, only one libertarian book of this kind around, the Libertarian Lympoon, a small brochure? – And it is not even on line yet, according to a Google search today! – JZ, 16.1.09. Nevertheless, a start could and should be made. A website or email address could become a collection point for this purpose. – JZ, 15.1.09. If only libertarians collaborated, especially those, who put already jokes on their websites, blogs and Facebook entries, a comprehensive and attractive handbook on them, digitized, alphabetized and cross-referenced, could be put online or on disc and it could become a great help in the libertarian enlightenment efforts. Will libertarians ever sufficiently collaborate? This and many other libertarian significant omissions are no joke. I described many of them in my digital NEW DRAFT book manuscript, not yet online but seeking such a placement by anyone. – JZ, 10.4.13. – My file comes, presently, in my computer, to 2.8 MBs, in 128  pages and 1334 paragraphs. Anyone who intends to submit to me more libertarian jokes of the kind I collect and intend to publish, can get in response from me a shortened earlier version, which still fits into an email attachment, so that he or she does not send me files that would not fit into this collection. – By now there are already quite a few websites offering some libertarian jokes. But most of them are not of the kind that I am looking for. - What I want is to make people laugh so that they’ll see things seriously.” – William K.

JOURNALISM: A profession whose business it is to explain to others what it personally does not understand.” - Lord Northcliffe. – Just read some of their reports on the current crisis! – JZ, 15.1.09. - JOKES

JOURNALISM: The most esteemed journalists are precisely the most servile. For it is by making themselves useful to the powerful that they gain access to the "best" sources. – Walter Karp (1934-1989),American journalist and political theorist.Another aspect for this is that they cater to the predominantly statist errors and prejudices of most people rather than reporting facts, truths and sound principles and practices. Insofar they do speak for and represent “the public”. – JZ, 5.4.12.

JOURNALISM: The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything. Except what is worth knowing. Journalism, conscious of this, and having tradesman-like habits, supplies their demands.” - Oscar Wilde

JOURNALISTS: First, most journalists deceive themselves, then the public. - JZ, 23.8.94. - However, they are greatly aided in this by their editors and publishers as well as by the shareholders, who make more money from sensational reports than from reporting truths and ideas. Thus the information value of the "free press" is greatly depreciated, at least for all mass media. - JZ, 27.10.02. - REPORTERS, NEWSHOUNDS, MASS MEDIA, PRESS, TV, RADIO

JOURNALISTS: In almost all other professions a man must be able to observe carefully and report accurately what he has seen. Those qualifications are unnecessary for journalists, however, since their job is to write sensational stories that sell newspapers. Hence, all the incompetents who are not capable of normal accuracy in observation or memory fail in most other professions and many of them eventually drift into journalism.” - George Bernard Shaw, quoted by Robert Anton Wilson, Masks of the Illuminati, p.229. - G. B. S. was hardly a careful and accurate observer and recorder of capitalism, anarchism and State socialism. His prejudices led him, too, by the nose on all too many points. - JZ 22.1.02. – What is really new, important and rightful is often ignored by them in favor of what is newsworthy in the minds of the ignorant and prejudiced. – JZ, 6.1.09.

JOURNALISTS: The most esteemed journalists are precisely the most servile. For it is by making themselves useful to the powerful that they gain access to the "best" sources. – Walter Karp (1934-1989), American Journalist and Political Theorist. –  Simply to appeal to the masses, not only their territorial governments, they have to appeal to public opinion, usually operating on the lowest common denominators, with the least knowledge and appreciation of genuine individual rights and liberties. It is almost surprising that one can, nevertheless, find some good reports in the mass media among merely the latest scandals of politicians and public servants.

JUDGES: All that Prohibition does to them is to make brilliantly plain, even to the meanest understanding, their lamentable departure from that high integrity of purpose, that assiduous concern for justice, that jealous watchfulness over the rights of man, which simple men, at all times and everywhere, like to find in the judges set over them. …” - H. L. Mencken, Prejudices, 4th Series, p.89. , JUSTICE, PROHIBITION & THE WAR AGAINST DRUGS

JUDGES: Any judge is a good judge when he knows he's being watched.” - Robert A. Heinlein, Citizen of the Galaxy, p.240. – “Any judge is a good judge when he knows he’s being watched. … The place was so loaded with press that a common citizen stood no chance.” – Ibid, p. 249. - Even that does not help - if he has a sinecure - or simply shares popular errors and prejudices. - JZ, 27.10.02. – He must be watched by just people with influence upon his career, not only by appeals courts. Moreover, there must be free competition between various constitutional, legislative, political, policing, juridical and penal systems and individual consumer sovereignty towards them, i.e. free choice among systems, for those who have not victimized members of other communities. A harsh word, a joke or merely different behavior in public are not to count as an offence, even when some people feel offended by it. Those who feel offended have to learn that the world is full of shocking sights and sounds and have to cope with them as best as they can. Artificial and arbitrarily produced loud noise is another matter. No one has e.g. the right to shout into another person’s ear, unless that person is nearly deaf and asks for it. – JZ, 16.1.09. - COURTS, JUSTICE & PUBLICITY

JUDGES: As he wrote in his Confessions at this time, 'the true judge for every man is his own conscience, a fact that implies replacement of the systems of courts and laws with a system of personal obligations and contracts, in other words, repression of legal institutions.'” - Peter Marshall, Demanding the Impossible, p.247, on Proudhon. - COURTS & CONSCIENCE.

It is also a not a crime, since it does not produce a victim - except the one accused of that "crime". - JZ, 8.11.95. – How much better would this world already be if all too many judges had not shown contempt for genuine individual rights and liberties? – They should rather have shown the richly deserved contempt for all too many laws and should have refused to apply them, just like most free and enlightened juries would have. - JZ, 16.1.09. – CONTEMPT OF COURT

JUDGES: During his whole official career a judge never talks to a fellow-creature and no one ever talks to him. Counsel address him, he rules for or against his old friend at the bar, or sums up, or gives judgment against him, but he never talks to him. … The rules forbid even a witness to speak. He has to be examined or cross-examined. But if he attempts to speak the truth, he is at once stopped, and threatened with penalties, and told that what he is about to say is not evidence.” - Edward Parry, Judge of the County Court of Kent): My Own Way, 1932. - COURTS, WITNESSES, TRUTH, TRIALS, LAWYERING

JUDGES: For two hundred years, the Judges of England sat on the Bench, condemning to the penalty of death every man, woman, and child who stole property to the value of five shillings; and, during all that time, not one Judge ever remonstrated against the law.

JUDGES: It is better that a judge should lean on the side of compassion than severity.” - Cervantes. - Compassion with the offender or with his past and future victims? How compassionate was the offender towards his victims? Such questions can never be completely settled equally for all. There are xyz notions on and ideas and “ideals” of protection, deterrence, adjudication and punishment. Let individuals make their own choices and let them beware not to interfere with the rights and liberties of others, who have made different choices for their protection. The penalties they would exact might be much higher than the ones for the same offence when committed by the offender within his own voluntary community. His may ignore “joyrides”, while another community might exact the death penalty or a large fine or prison sentence for such an infringement of property rights. Technically, it would be possible for a car that is stolen, to lock-in the thief and automatically drive him to the nearest police station and then set the horn blaring, until he is arrested. If he wants wheels of his own, let him save for a used bicycle first. A car thief steals something that may have taken the owner years of labor to acquire and pay off and to that extent the thief, without compassion, condemns his victim to years of unpaid or underpaid labor. Compassion? With whom? A society that has too much compassion with criminals rather than their victims, has too little compassion for the victims and does, indeed, breed crime. - JZ, 30.4.00, 16.1.09, 20.9.13. - JUSTICE, COURTS, JURISDICTION, CRIME & PUNISHMENT, VICTIMS, COMPASSION VS.

JUDGES: To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem [good justice is broad jurisdiction], and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves.” - Thomas Jefferson to W. Jarvis, 1820. – Sinecures do not make for good decisions or services. – The positive effect of competition and of consumer sovereignty is missing. -  JZ, 16.1.09.

JUDGES: What if, when addressing the judge, you carefully omitted the words, “Your Honor”? - Your Honor? Good grief! A judge is nothing but a combination of lawyer and politician. What on earth is likely to be honorable about that? ...

Same man, no accountability.” - John Laws, John Law's Book of Uncommon Sense, Pan, 1995, p.103. - Nevertheless, to my knowledge, John Laws has not asked for free competition in the supply of juridical services. Why not? - JZ, 18.4.00. - IMMUNITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, PANARCHISM, COMPETING JUSTICE SYSTEMS

JUDGES: You seem ... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. ... The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal." - Thomas Jefferson, 1820. - Ultimately, every individual should be free to select for himself the kind of constitution, legislation, jurisdiction and executive or administrative body that he wants for himself, in the form of his preferred kind of competing governance system or community or society of volunteers, all of them only exterritorially autonomous. – Territorial systems create insolvable problems - for the populations of large territories tend to be very diverse in their individual preferences and inclinations, beliefs, convictions and aims. – JZ, 5.1.08, 20.9.13. – CONSTITUTIONS, JUDICIARY, COURTS, HIGH COURT, SUPREME COURT, PANARCHISM VS.

JUDGING PEOPLE BY THEIR CLOTHING: A man, who examines the saddle and bridle and not the animal itself, when he is out to buy a horse, is a fool; similarly, only an absolute fool values a man according to his clothes, or according to his position, which after all is only something we wear like clothing.” – Seneca – However, the silliness, carelessness or dirtiness of a person can already be judged, often, by his clothing, with which he chooses to cover of “decorate” himself or herself, unless it is mere work apparel. – JZ, 8.8.08, 20..9.13. – Compare: “It’s not the clothing that makes the man.” VS. “It’s the clothing that makes the man.” - CHARACTER, PERSONALITIES, MAN, APPEARANCES, TATTOES

JUDGMENT: facts and their combinations are infinite; that wisdom is not precisely the accumulation of knowledge, but rather the ability to rank facts in their proper hierarchy, and to know which 99 % can and should be ignored.” - Robert R. Chase, Transit of Betelgeuse, ANALOG 5/90, 29. - FACTS, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM

JUDGMENT: Judgment is given to men that they may use it. Because it may be used erroneously, are men to be told that they ought not to use it at all?" - John Stuart Mill, On Liberty. – No, but they ought to be much more subject to their own judgments than judgments by people that they happen to strongly disagree with. Strong disagreements happens inevitably under territorialism. – JZ, 26.12.07. – They are mostly reduced to non-violent disagreements under the tolerance and voluntarism of exterritorial autonomy or personal law for volunteers. – JZ, 20.9.13. – EXTERRITORIALISM VS.

JUDGMENT: The epistemological basis of anarchism [rests on the refusal to subordinate one's won rational judgment to the assertion of another consciousness] and its social implementation - individual rights. The corollary of independent judgment is the rejection of any 'final authority in ethics'.” - Roy Childs, in unpublished Open Letter to Objectivists and Libertarians, Nov. 30, 1969, pp. 4 & 17, here quoted in THE VOLUNTARYIST, No. 90, 2/1998, p.2. – Should even an ideal declaration of individual rights and liberties have no authority among anarchists and libertarians?

JUDGMENT: Their judgment was based more on wishful thinking than on sound calculation of probabilities; for the usual thing among men is that when they want something they will without reflection leave that to hope, while they will employ the full force of reason in rejecting what they find unpalatable.” - Michael F. Flynn, The Washer at the Ford, ANALOG, 6/89, 49. - Compare the response of most libertarians and anarchists to the use of affordable, powerful and lasting media, like microfiche, floppy disks and CDs. Rationalizing rather than reasoning is involved in the rejection of these media. - JZ, 1.11.02. - REASON VS. WISHFUL THINKING, RED

JUDGMENT: There are four chief obstacles in grasping truth, which hinder every man, however learned, and scarcely allow any one to win a clear title to learning, namely, submission to faulty and unworthy authority, influence of custom, popular prejudice, and concealment of our own ignorance accompanied by an ostentatious display of our knowledge.” - Roger Bacon, Opus majus, transl. by R.

JUDGMENT: There are many who know many things, yet are lacking in wisdom.” - Democritus, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, RED.

JUDGMENT: There are two modes of acquiring knowledge, namely by reasoning and experience. Reasoning draws a conclusion and makes us grant the conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, nor does it remove doubt so that the mind may rest on the intuition of truth, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.” - Roger Bacon, Opus majus, trans. by R.

JUDICIARY: [How] to check these unconstitutional invasions of ... rights by the Federal judiciary? Not by impeachment in the first instance, but by a strong protestation of both houses of Congress that such and such doctrines advanced by the Supreme Court are contrary to the Constitution; and if afterwards they relapse into the same heresies, impeach and set the whole adrift. For what was the government divided into three branches, but that each should watch over the others and oppose their usurpations?” - Thomas Jefferson to Nathaniel Macon, 1821. - SUPREME COURT, SECESSIONISM, MILITIA, DECLARATION OF ALL GENUINE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

JUDICIARY: The Constitution ... meant that its coordinate branches should be checks on each other. But the opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves in their own sphere of action but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.” - Thomas Jefferson to Mrs. Adams, 1804. – Who or what is to stand as an ultimate judge over any constitution? Firstly, the voluntarism of its subjects, who must remain free to secede. That includes the beneficial enlightening effect of other and competitive constitutions, practised by different communities of volunteers. Secondly, an as ideal declaration of individual rights and liberties as interest people can manage to compiled. Thirdly, an ideal military force of volunteers with the single purpose only of defending such a declaration and also developing it further, if it can. – JZ, 16.1.09. – CONSTITUTIONALISM, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, IDEAL MILITIAS FOR THEIR DEFENCE, PANARCHISM, VOLUNTARISM, SECESSIONISM

JUDICIARY: The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in ... the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow), working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day and a little to-morrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States." - Thomas Jefferson, 1821. – FEDERAL JUDICIARY, SUPREME COURT

JUDICIARY: This member of the Government was at first considered as the most harmless and helpless of all its organs. But it has proved that the power of declaring what the law is, ad libitum, by sapping and mining slyly and without alarm the foundations of the Constitution, can do what open force would not dare to attempt.” - Thomas Jefferson to E. Livingston, 1825, on the court. – Was Jefferson also opposed to free juries? – Had he considered personal law associations into consideration? – When, decades ago, I saw his printed works offered for $ 1200, then this price decided for me: His works are not for me. Now they could be very cheaply offered on a CD and may already be so offered or free online. – Thus searching for the answers to such questions could be already relatively easy and cheap. - JZ, 16.1.09. – First entry of 570 mill Google results today: Online Library of Liberty - The Works of Thomas Jefferson, 12 vols. - oll.libertyfund.org/1734‎ - JZ, 10.5.13. - The Online Library of Liberty is provided in order to encourage the study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals by making freely available on ...

Nevertheless, or because of it, there should be free choice for individuals among all kinds of juridical systems. - JZ, 28.6.00, 24.11.06. - The traditional and free juries were better than that.

JURIES: According to a poll by the "National Law Journal", 76 percent of Americans believe juries have the right to bring their conscience into the jury room - and to acquit a defendant who is technically guilty but morally innocent.” - "Conrad refutes various criticisms of jury independence. He argues that jurors who vote their conscience are not 'nullifying' the law. Rather, they are exercising their discretion, ruling that it would not be fair to apply a particular law in a particular case. District attorneys constantly exercise similar discretion - not bringing charges in the first place - and no one accuses them of 'nullification' or 'anarchy'.” - David Kopel, from a review of Clay S. Conrad's, Jury Nullification: The Evolution Of A Doctrine, in the May/June, 1999, edition of "THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE, A NATIONAL MAGAZINE OF POLITICS, BUSINESS, AND CULTURE", Vol. 10, #3, as reprinted in the Winter/Spring, 1999, issue of "The FIJActivist", page 9. - FREE JURIES

JURIES: All juries to be made up out of crime victims only! Among them let there be one or two former convicts who were later found to be innocent of the crime they were convicted for. And since the accused is allowed to look his best, all dressed up for the trial, let the victim be represented by a life-sized photo or sculpture indicating the condition his attacker left him in, combined with a photo of his previous looks and present looks. If there was no victim of a supposed crime, then let this fact be driven home by a blank screen instead of a photo of the victim. - However, to each the justice system of his choice! - JZ, 8.2.01, 2.2.02.

JURIES: But, sir, the people themselves have it in their power effectually to resist usurpation, without being driven to an appeal of arms. An act of usurpation is not obligatory; it is not law; and any man may be justified in his resistance. Let him be considered as a criminal by the general government, yet only his fellow-citizens can convict him; they are his jury, and if they pronounce him innocent, not all the powers of Congress can hurt him; and innocent they certainly will pronounce him, if the supposed law he resisted was an act of usurpation." - Theophilus Parsons, in the Massachusetts Convention on the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. [Jonathan Elliot, ed., ”The Debates of the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution”, New York, Burt Franklin: 1888), 2:94.] – While free jury systems could be very helpful to freedom lovers, many libertarians expect too much from them alone. The ultimate judge should be free men, all volunteers, who know and appreciate all their individual rights and liberties, are armed trained and organized for their protection and sworn in to defend and protect nothing else. – A suggestion by Ulrich von Beckerath, 1882-1969, in my own words. – JZ, 5.1.08. - FREE JURIES VS.

JURIES: In effect, trial by jury was a trial of both the government and the criminal. Twelve representatives of the public were to determine the facts of the case and then to determine the justness of the government law. If any one of the twelve had doubts as to the facts or as to the justness of the government law, then the government's case against the criminal could not be upheld.” - Carl Watner, on Lysander Spooner, in Holterman, Law in Anarchism, p.125/126. – It takes only one man to secede from a government or society. However, one cannot thus secede from a crime with victims, which one has previously committed. – JZ, 16.1.09.

JURISDICTION: Territorial constitutions, laws, regulations and institutions, privileges, powers and monopolies are what is mainly defended by governmental courts, i.e., largely injustices, rather than individual rights and liberties. Under this system no one is given a veto-right to uphold individual rights and liberties against continuous and official attacks, nor the right to secede and establish or join alternative and voluntary communities that are exterritorially quite autonomous. Thus are established and maintained State- or nation-wide territorial prisons, largely for innocent people, not convicted of any crimes with victims.

JURISDICTION: This member of the government was at first considered as the most harmless and helpless of all its organs. But it has proved that the power of declaring what the law is, ad libitum, by sapping and mining, slyly, and without alarm, the foundations of the Constitution, can do what open force would not dare to attempt.” - Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Edward Livingston, 1825. – I hold that the legislators are still in the vanguard in denying genuine individual rights and liberties - with their avalanches of legislation, “positive” laws, in their totality unreadable, unknowable and inapplicable by anyone, but, effective in one way, namely in denying to individuals the free practice of their individual human rights and liberties in all too many ways, as long as they are not free to secede from them and their territorial mass production machine and enforcement bureaucracies. – JZ, 16.1.09. - COURTS, JUDGES, LAW, GOVERNMENT, CONSTITUTIONS, DIVISION OF POWERS, SECESSIONISM, PANARCHISM, TERRITORIALISM

JURISDICTION: When the fox administers justice, the chickens will always be found guilty. Cat Farmer – Courts of justice, free jury trials, arbitration systems, all competitive ones, rather than Royal judges or territorial and governmental monopoly court systems. – JZ, 27.4.13. - MONOPOLY BY TERRITORIAL STATES

JUSTICE: 75 Years in Prison For Videotaping Police - www.youtube.com - Governmental "justice" at work! - But do realize: there are even worse governments, as many refugees can confirm. And all of them are based upon territorialism, i.e. without exterritorial, voluntary, individual and group secessionism and associationism, required also by freedom of contract, freedom to associate, freedom of action and freedom to experiment. Majority rule means, in most cases, merely legislation etc. based upon ignorance, prejudice, errors and myths. It denies genuine self-governance, self-determination and experimental freedom to the minorities of dissenters. Any kind of libertarianism for any kind of libertarian and also any kind of statism - but only for the present majority of statists. Territorial rule to be replaced by voluntarism, anarchism, polyarchism, multi-government, of any kind, all without a territorial monopoly. I see in this also the only way to avoid nuclear war. It eliminates the targets, motives and financial resources to keep up this wrongful mass extermination readiness. – JZ, 23.11.12, 21.9.13. – I still can’t quite believe such a prison sentence upon a single individual, for such an “offence”. – JZ, 6.10.12. – Who was the victim of such an “offence”, if the policemen involved were merely doing their duty and this quite correctly? Or do they now claim a “right” to act wrongfully and brutally and not to be recorded and persecuted when doing so? – JZ, 11.5.13. - VIA GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEMS?

JUSTICE: A commodity which is a more or less adulterated condition the State sells to the citizen as a reward for his allegiance, taxes and personal service.” – Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary. – Rather for his obedience, involuntary tribute payments and servitude to the new territorial and feudal masters, elected at most by a temporary majority and not by all the diverse and peaceful dissenters. – JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: A good parson once said that where mystery begins religion ends. Cannot I say, as truly at least, of human laws, that where mystery beings, justice ends? - Edmund Burke, 1729-1797. – The popular myths, error, prejudices, superstitions, dogmas, fallacies, false definitions, assumptions and conclusions are not longer mysteries but have, in most cases, already been thoroughly demystified and refuted, by at least someone, somewhere and at sometime in some quotes or texts. However, these refutations have not been fully collected and published in a systematical confrontation with all these all too numerous myths, which have swamped the truths in most countries and most heads of the population for hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years. – JZ, 11.5.13, 21.9.13. – ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE BEST REFUTATIONS OF POPULAR ERRORS, PREJUDICES ETC., WHICH ARE OBSTACLES TO ENLIGHTENMENT, LIBERATION & PROGRESS IN EVERY SPHERE.

JUSTICE: A government founded upon anything except liberty and justice cannot and ought not to stand. All the wrecks on either side of the stream of time, all the wrecks of the great cities, and all the nations that have passed away - all are a warning that no nation founded upon injustice can stand. From the sand-enshrouded Egypt, from the marble wilderness of Athens, and from every fallen, crumbling stone of the once mighty Rome, comes a wail as it were, the cry that no nation founded upon injustice can permanently stand. - Robert G. Ingersoll, quoted in Sprading, Liberty and the Grat Libertarians, 273. – No territorial government can have such a foundation, however limited it may be in other ways. – JZ, 11.5.13. – LIMITED BUT STILL TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENTS, INJUSTICE, TERRITORIALISM, AUTHORITARIANISM, POWER, COERCION

Does there exist even a single force, anywhere in the world as yet, that effectively protects all genuine individual rights and liberties, because it knows and appreciates all of them and is fully trained and armed to do so? – Do the victims always get the upper hand today against the victimizers?

JUSTICE: A just cause needs no interpreting. / It carries its own case. But the unjust argument / since it is sick, needs clever medicine.” - Euripides, The Phoenician Women, c.411-409 B.C., tr. Elizabeth Wyckoff. - Since justice hasn't prevailed everywhere, people do either know it not, have not interpreted it correctly or simply assumed that it would fight its own battles without their assistance and would always win. - JZ, 15.11.85. – That belief is just as harmful as their belief that a free market for ideas and talents does already exist. – And the one that a God exists, as a just and loving father of all humans. - JZ, 16.1.09. -LAWS, LAWYERS, COURTS

JUSTICE: A small instance of justice does not mean that the justice expressed in it could not be very important in principle and as an example. - JZ, 4.9.89. (A part change of a remark by Kant, saying, essentially, in my words: A small example of injustice does not mean that the injustice expressed in it could not be very large. - JZ

JUSTICE: A world made new in the justice of life.” - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, June 78, p.812. - I prefer the following version: A world made new by the love of justice. - JZ, 30.3.88. – Life is not necessarily and automatically just. – It takes sufficient knowledge, reasoning and an extra effort. - JZ, 16.1.09. – So far it does also live, largely, off other life. E.g. vegetarians, while not eating the flesh of animals, do eat plants, raw or cooked and the “greenies” do not yet blame them for this. – JZ, 11.5.13. - LOVE, LIFE

JUSTICE: Above all other things is justice: success is a good thing; wealth is good also; honor is better, but justice excels them all.” - D. D. Field, Speeches: Law Reform, 18 March, 1876.

JUSTICE: Absolute freedom mocks at justice. Absolute justice denies freedom.” - Albert Camus, The Rebel, 1951. - More nonsense by another famous name. Here he seems to mix up licence or arbitrariness with freedom and justice for all. - JZ, 4.4.89, 28.10.02. - All too many people discredit themselves by their own statements. - JZ, 28.10.02. - ABSOLUTE JUSTICE, FREEDOM, - FREEDOM,

JUSTICE: Admittedly, there are numerous distinguished economists - they call themselves utilitarians - who, by cause-and effect reasoning, arrive at free market, private property, limited government conclusions. But the case for liberty should, in my opinion, be argued more along the lines of men's rights - justice - than along strictly materialistic lines.

JUSTICE: After all, laws came and went, were adapted and then discarded, but the spirit of justice was eternal. – J. M. Dillard, Star Trek. Deep Space Nine, Emissary, p.58. – Alas, it has still not been clearly enough expressed and published in any comprehensive declaration of all genuine individual rights and liberties and I do not even know of anyone, still alive, apart from myself, among 7 billion people, who is systematically working towards that aim. Do you? – JZ, 11.5.13. - INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES VS. LAW, & “POSITIVE” LEGISLATION

JUSTICE: After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule, is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as man understand it. Can there not be a government in which majorities do not virtually decide right and wrong, but conscience? - in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable? Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience, then?” - Thoreau, On Civil Disobedience. - CONSCIENCE & DISOBEDIENCE, BOTING, MAJORITARIANISM, TERRITORIALISM, STATISM, DEMOCRACY, LEGISLATION, LAWS

JUSTICE: All around us the substitutes for true justice contest for power: 'Equality of opportunity', 'social justice', 'freedom from want'. Meanwhile, justice in the old way 'to each his due' - seems to have been shunted aside.” - Source? – INDIVIDUAL HUMAN RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, STILL INSUFFICIENTLY DECLARED TO DEFINE JUSTICE IN THE REQUIRED DETAILS.

JUSTICE: All that is needed to remedy the evils of our time is to do justice and give freedom.” - Henry George, The Condition of Labor. – Even the followers of Henry George do not fully agree whether that requires State action or free enterprise. But at least some of them made some free enterprise and capitalistic as well as voluntary attempts to realize their land reform ideals among themselves, at their own expense and risk. – JZ, 11.5.13. - FREEDOM

JUSTICE: An essential condition with justice owed to others is that one offers it immediately, without any delays. To let people wait for it amounts to injustice.” – (Ein wesentlicher Umstand bei der Gerechtigkeit, die man andern schuldet, ist, dass man sie ihnen sogleich und ohne Aufschub widerfahren laesst; sie auf sich warten lassen ist Ungerechtigkeit.) - La Bruyère, Charaktere, Kap. XII. - Compare the much more concise: "Justice delayed is justice denied." – At least in this respect conventional Muslim justice was better. – JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: An unjust law is a contradiction in terms.” - Isaac Asimov, The Caves of Steel, GALAXY SF, No. 13, UK, 73. - Unjust laws are the rule rather than the exception in all current “positive” legislation. - JZ, 7.10. 00, 21.9.13. - All laws may be lawful, in the worst sense, that of merely being formally correctly proposed and passed, but only very few laws so passed and still in force are full of justice. The more laws, the less justice - is an ancient and often pronounced experience - but it seems to be unknown to most of the current legislators, adding to the past avalanches of laws and to their enforcers, bureaucrats, judges and policemen. Moreover, no one has even the time to read all the laws that are still in force and those annually added to this mass, until they are replaced or supplemented by still longer, more unjust and more senseless laws. - JZ, 8.2.02, 11.5.13, 21.9.13. -  Unjust laws are the common practice!

JUSTICE: And it is invalid to say of a fact either that it is or that it is not just; only actions are just or unjust.” - David Kelley, THE FREEMAN, 1/75. – Things are neither just nor unjust but their use can be either, e.g. in the case of weapons or poisons. Terms like justice and injustice, rights and liberties apply only to persons assumed to be sufficiently rational to know and appreciate genuine rights and liberties. Alas, the number of people who know and appreciate all of them or who show at least a serious interest for all of them, is still extremely rare. The only other such person I knew died in 1969. Can you name many others to me? – JZ, 11.5.13. - jzube@acenet.com.au

JUSTICE: As Proudhon put it: I say that you need a clear, positive, and exact expression of your whole idea [of justice], - that is, an expression which states at once the principle, the means, and the end; and I add that that expression is association.” – When Proudhon wrote that “Association is Justice”, ... - William O. Reichert, Natural Right in the Political Philosophy of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, in JOURNAL OF LIBERTARIAN STUDIES, Winter 80, p.78. - The Mafia, other crime syndicates and any gangs or robbers and thieves are also associations but they do hardly represent justice. To speak merely of voluntary associations is not clear enough, because they are that, too - but they invade the voluntary associations of others. Thus they are aggressive, criminal, intolerant associations, as opposed to peaceful, honest and tolerant and merely defensive or liberating associations. I guess the writer had only the latter in mind in spite of the numerous examples of the former. - JZ, 28.10.02, 11.5.13. - PANARCHISM, ASSOCIATIONISM, VOLUNTARISM, SECESSIONISM, EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM FOR VOLUNTEERS IN ALL SPHERES, PANARCHISM, POLYARCHISM, COMPETING GOVERNANCE, SOCIETIES & COMMUNITIES, PROUDHON

I also believe in power, very critically, because I experience it all too much, rather than justice. – JZ, 16.1.09. – POWER, STIRNER

JUSTICE: But if justice be a natural principle, then it is necessarily an immutable one; and can no more be changed - by any power inferior to that which established it - than can the law of gravitation, the laws of light, the principles of mathematics, or any other natural law or principle whatever; and all attempts or assumptions, on the part of any man of body of men - whether calling themselves governments, or by any other name - to set up their own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion, in the place of justice, as a rule of conduct for any human being, are as much an absurdity, an usurpation, and a tyranny, as would be their attempts to set up their own commands, wills, pleasure, or discretion in place of any and all the physical, mental, and moral laws of the universe.” – Lysander Spooner, Natural Law, V. – NATURAL LAW, NATURAL RIGHTS, INDIVIDUAL HUMAN RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

JUSTICE: But justice is the product of reason not the passions. And justice is the necessary support of the social order, and the social order is necessary to man's well-being and happiness. If this is so, the norms of justice must control and regulate the passions, and not vice versa.” - A, Kenneth Hesselberg, Hume, Natural Law and Justice, 1961. - Quoted in: Rothbard, The Ethics of Liberty, p.13. – The territorial “social order” of States brings about mainly only injustice, official exploitation via tribute levies, social, economic and political disorder, despotism, civil wars, international wars, the repression of individualism, individual sovereignty, minority autonomy, personal law or exterritorial autonomy for volunteers, full freedom of association, contract and experimentation. – JZ, 11.5.13. – TERRITORIALISM, STATISM, GOVERNMENTALISM, REASON, RIGHTS, LIBERTIES SUBJECTED TO POPULAR ERRORS, PREJUDICES & PASSIONS

Also in Albert Jay Nock, Memoirs of a Superfluous Man, Harper, 1943, p.76. - Ibid, 77: “We learned not only that justice is always the same in small matters as in great, but we also learned thoroughly the consequent lesson which seems to unaccountably hard for Anglo-Saxons ever to learn, that justice is always the same in the case of men and things you do not like, as in the case of those you do like.” - Ibid, p. 78: “… a third great truth about justice, namely: that justice is seldom enough. It showed how necessary it is that matters should be managed not only with justice but with the appearance of justice, and that very often the appearance of justice is as important as the substance of justice.” - As if there could not be different criminal laws, court systems and police- and prison systems, indemnification systems for different people living in different communities, all freely chosen by individuals for themselves. – Just like there are some different systems under territorialism. - JZ, 16.1.09. – PERSONAL LAWS, EXTERRITORIAL AUTONOMY, PANARCHISM, MINORITY AUTONOMY, INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY, EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM VS.

JUSTICE: Do you really believe that something as sensitive as justice should be administered by the government? Wouldn't this be as likely to be badly administered as the government post office and the government health services are and as a government regulating sex life and food supply would be? - JZ, 1974, 7.1.1986, 21.9.13. – POLICE- & COURT MONOPOLY

JUSTICE: Don't offer anything that is less than 100% just - as an ideal. - JZ, 26.6.1974. - However, this ideal would tend to differ for different people and their voluntary communities. Let them have their own choices, in this sphere as well, for all their internal affairs. Naturally, they should have no jurisdiction over others, unless these others offended against internally claimed rights and liberties, which are also respected by an internationally recognized law that is based upon individual rights and liberties. For instance, religious communities may punish "blasphemy" etc. uttered by their voluntary members but not among non-members, even when uttered in the presence of their members. But they would be entitled to forcefully remove someone who thus disturbed e.g. one of their religious meetings. House rules are to be respected, at least as property rights, no matter how wrong and absurd they do appear to others. To that extent: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do." - but without extending that "principle" to the whole territory of the Roman empire and all people living there, under the assumption that they would all constitute "one people" or one household or one business or one voluntary association. - JZ, 16.11.02. – Not even the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire did that. It left them free to practise at least some of the local customs, even while they were imperialistically exploited and subdued. – JZ, 21.9.13. -  PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: Each person is justified in defending his body and property from invasion. Invasion is the threat of or actual use of physical force to compel obedience. Justice will not come to reign unless those who care for its coming are prepared to insist upon its value and have the courage to speak out against what they know to be wrong.” - Quoted by Carl Watner, On Justice, p. 39. – Speaking out against injustice is not enough! – At present the unjust are still much better organized and armed. – Their victims are largely disarmed, disorganized and untrained for rightful resistance and not even free to secede. - JZ, 16.1.09, 21.9.13. - SELF-DEFENCE, RESISTANCE, PROTECTION OF GENUINE RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, IDEAL MILITIAS FOR THEIR DEFENCE

(Act justly, although the world might perish.) - Carl Watner, On Justice, p.36. – Are such radicals, if they act upon their slogans, less dangerous than the totalitarians are? – JZ, 16.1.09. – Especially when their principle of “justice” amounts to “collective responsibility”, which can lead us into an all-out nuclear war. – JZ, 17.1.09. – Can justice be enforced with nuclear mass murder devices? – JZ, 11.5.13. – One might also ask: If we managed to establish justice, freedom an peace on Earth, what for would we still need a Heaven and its God? – JZ, 21.9.13. - COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY, NWT

JUSTICE: For any twentieth century American who'd been paying attention at all, the phrase "criminal justice system" should have been warning enough.” - William Wilde Curringer, Unfinished Memoirs. - One should note, that it is not called a monopolistic justice system or an honest or efficient justice system, but a criminal one. – JZ 13.3.99, 11.5.13. - COURTS, JURISDICTION, CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM

JUSTICE: For justice, against the laws.” – (Pro jure contra legem.) - Quoted by Victor Hugo in his "Deeds and Words." – I recognize only justice as defined in a complete and clear declaration of genuine individual rights and liberties, to the extent that at least some humans have so far discovered and stated them. Alas, I stand, largely, alone in this, a single voice in the wilderness. – JZ, 11.5.13 - LAWS VS. THE LAW

JUSTICE: For natural law is justice itself … the nature of justice can no more be altered by legislation than the nature of numbers can be altered by the same means.” - Lysander Spooner. - LAW, NATURAL LAW

JUSTICE: Force without justice is tyranny and justice without force is futility." - source?

JUSTICE: Freely competing juridical systems would come closer to justice than a monopolistic and governmental one could, in practice, not only under wrong assumptions and vain promises. - JZ, 5.4.99, 21.9.13. - COMPETING COURTS, COMPETING PERSONAL LAWS & CONSTITUTIONS, PANARCHISM, TERRITORIALISM, MONOPOLISM

JUSTICE: From Earth to Heav'n when Justice fled, // The Laws decided in her Stead; // From Heav'n to Earth should she return, // Lawyers might beg, and Lawbooks burn.” - "Poor Richard", by Benjamin Franklin, 1746.

JUSTICE: From the fact that one may forcefully subject men to justice it does not follow at all that it would be just to subject men to force.” – (Daraus, dass man die Menschen mit Gewalt der Gerechtigkeit unterwerfen kann, folgt durchaus nicht, dass es gerecht sei, die Menschen der Gewalt zu unterwerfen.) - Pascal. - FORCE, COERCION, COMPULSION

JUSTICE: Furthermore, even those who buy and sell, lease or rent and are involved in business do need justice for the conduct of their affairs. Indeed, the power of this virtue is so large that not even those who live from crimes and wrong-doing can survive quite without a spark of justice. – (Ferner haben auch diejenigen, welche kaufen, verkaufen, pachten, verpachten und in Geschaeftsabschluesse verwickelt werden, die Gerechtigkeit fuer ihre Geschaeftsfuehrung durchaus noetig. Ja die Macht dieser Tugend ist so gross, dass nicht einmal diejenigen, welche von Uebeltaten und Freveln leben, ganz ohne einen Funken von Gerechtigkeit zu leben imstande sind.)” - Cicero, Drei Buecher von den Pflichten, 2.11. - BUSINESSMEN, CONTRACTS, MARKET, ECONOMY, VIRTUE, CRIMINALS, WRONGDOERS, OFFENDERS, GANGSTERS

JUSTICE: General justice and mutual interest are found more capable of binding men than signatures and seals.” – William Godwin, in Sprading, p.102. – MUTUAL INTERESTS, CONTRACTS, TREATIES

JUSTICE: Give up on lawyers and governments, courts and judges - but never on justice, free arbitration and free juries, individual liberties and rights. - JZ, 5.4.99.

JUSTICE: Government "justice" mainly favors monopolies, prohibitions, lawyers, judges, barristers, politicians and bureaucrats rather than individual rights and liberties of human beings. - JZ, 23.8.95, 27.10.02, 11.5.13. - GOVERNMENTS

JUSTICE: Governments exploit the idea of justice by setting themselves up as the sole legitimate guardians of justice.” - View ascribed to James L. Walker by Leland Schubert in "MINUS ONE", Spring 73. - GOVERNMENT, MONOPOLIZED "JURISDICTION" & "JUSTICE"

JUSTICE: Governments have less interest in justice, individual rights and liberties than in laws and their law-making powers, taxation and decision-making powers and monopolies and their interpretation and use of them. - JZ, 18.8.95, 11.5.13. - LAWS, GOVERNMENT, REPRESENTATIVES, DEMOCRACY, POWER ADDICTION, RULERS, LEADERSHIP, POLITICIANS

JUSTICE: Has justice ever grown in the soil of absolute power? Has not justice always come from the press of the heart and spirit of men who resist power?” - Woodrow Wilson, 1912. - So, what was he doing in power? - JZ, 16.11.02. – The “press of the heart”, the “spirit of men”, their conscience, moral sense and all too incomplete knowledge and appreciation of genuine individual rights and liberties, are not a sufficient substitute for the completion, publication and sufficient public discussion and, finally, sufficient understanding and appreciation of the most complete and clearest declaration of such rights and liberties that would be possible by now, if a serious effort were made in this direction by the freedom lovers, especially anarchists and libertarians. Alas, I have seen no sign of such an effort as yet by those “freedom and justice lovers”, who are still alive now. Have you? Please, point me out their names and addresses and the texts they have produced. – JZ, 11.5.13, 21.9.13. - jzube@acenet.com.au - DECLARATION OF ALL INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

JUSTICE: He injures the good who spares the bad.” - Publilius Syrus, Sententiae, c. 50 B.C. - MERCY, CRUELTY, CRIMINALS, PUNISHMENT

JUSTICE: He is alert to the need to differentiate between justice and envy.” - Earl Ravenal, 1976 Washington D.C., LP National Convention report. Ravenal gave a speech as a foreign policy analyst. – “Social justice” is neither social nor just but, rather, an anti-social injustice, based upon wrongful State Socialist, communist and collectist assumptions that are contrary to genuine individual rights and liberties. – JZ, 11.5.13. - SOCIAL JUSTICE, ENVY

JUSTICE: He that's merciful unto the bad is cruel to the good.” - Thomas Randolph, The Muses' Looking-Glass, 1636. - MERCY, CRUELTY

JUSTICE: He who refuses justice surrenders everything to him who is armed.” - (Arma tenati Omnia dat qui justa negat.) - Lucan, De Bello Civili, Bk. i, 1.348. - The denial of justice to minority groups leads some of their members to deny justice to innocents by means of terrorist actions against them, committed under false notions of "collective responsibility" for the original and persistent wrongs, by some decision-makers and their helpers, against groups which the terrorists try to represent. Alas, the terrorists themselves aim, as a rule, at territorial rule as well, with them on top and, in their turn, similarly oppressing others, who disagree with them. Endless terror and counter-terror are the result. Civil wars and international wars are largely the same thing but officially organized and practised on a much larger scale. - The official terrorists are the worst. - Not that this excuses any private terrorist actions. - JZ, 16.11.02. – TERROR & TERRITORIALISM

JUSTICE: How are you to find justice at the hands of officers of the court who believe in the sanctity of the law? - Jim Andrews, FREEDOM TODAY, 10/75. – LAW, LAWS & COURTS, Q.

JUSTICE: How is justice to be served if the laws are not to be questioned?” - FREEDOM TODAY, Oct. 75.

JUSTICE: I am interested in justice, not the law. There is an unfortunate difference.” - Peter O'Donnell, A Taste for Death, p.106. – LAWS AS OPPOSED TO THE LAW

JUSTICE: I believe that justice is instinct and innate, that the moral sense is as much part of our constitution as that of feeling, seeing, or hearing.” - Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, 1816. – However, instincts and senses not guided by reason are all too often misleading. A guide in form of an ideal declaration of all individual rights and liberties is still missing. – JZ, 16.1.09. – Should it express only not merely our instincts or our moral sense but also our rationality, reason and best judgment? – JZ, 10.5.13, 21.9.13. - INSTINCT, MORAL SENSE, NATURAL JUSTICE, HUMAN NATURE, MAN

JUSTICE: I departed from legality only to return to justice.” - Napoleon III, Explanation of the coup d'état of Dec. 2, 1851. - That was his excuse or pretence. He hardly introduced justice. But then mere laws, before and after him, didn't, either. - JZ, 27.10.02. – He started his rule with a terrorizing blood bath. – JZ, 16.1.09. – LEGALITY, LAWS, IMPARTIALITY, TERRORISM

JUSTICE: I say that you need a clear, positive, and exact expression of your whole idea (of justice), that is, an expression which states at once the principle, the means, and the end; and I add that that expression is ASSOCIATION. - "Association Is Justice.” – Proudhon, quoted in JLS, Winter 80, p. 78. – In other words, he attempted to explain one insufficiently defined word by another insufficiently defined word. – JZ, 11.5.13. - ASSOCIATIONISM, VOLUNTARYISM, SECESSIONISM, PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: I'll not sell my birth-right for a mess of pottage, for Justice is my natural right, my heirdom, my inheritance by lineal descent from the loins of Adam, and so to all the sons of men as their proper right without respect to persons.” - Overton, 9.9.1648. – Did he mean what we now call “heirloom”? – JZ

JUSTICE: I'm armed with more than complete steel - / The justice of my quarrel.” - Lust's Dominion, 1647, 4.3, attributed to Christopher Marlowe. - FORCE, STRENGTH, POWER

JUSTICE: If citizens really sought, knew, appreciated and fought for justice in the form of individual rights and liberties, well organized and trained for just this purpose, then politicians, lawyers, and judges could no longer fob them off with their kind of legislation and jurisdiction and territorial “self”-government. - JZ, n.d. & 11.5.13, 21.9.13. - INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, CITIZENS, LAWYERS, LAWS, LEGISLATION, JURISDICTION, CITIZENS, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, “SELF”-GOVERNMENT VS.

JUSTICE: If each of us will treat each other human being as a person, and respect the essential humanity of that person by respecting his right to free choice, we will achieve justice.” - Ridgway K. Foley Jr., THE FREEMAN, 5/74.

JUSTICE: If justice be not a natural principle, it is no principle at all. If it be not a natural principle, there is no such thing as justice. If it be not a natural principle, all that men have ever said or written about it, from time immemorial, has been said and written about that which had no existence. If it be not a natural principle, all the appeals for justice that have ever been heard, and all the struggles for justice that have ever been witnessed, have been appeals and struggles for a mere fantasy, a vagary of the imagination, and not for a reality.” – Lysander Spooner, Natural Law.

JUSTICE: If justice be not a natural principle, then there is no such thing as injustice; and all the crimes of which the world has been the scene, have been no crimes at all; but only simple events, like the falling of the rain, or the setting of the sun; events of which the victims had no more reason to complain than they had to complain of the running of the streams, or the growth of vegetation. - If justice be not a natural principle, governments (so-called) have no more right or reason to take cognizance of it, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance of it, than they have to take cognizance, or to pretend or profess to take cognizance, of any other nonentity; and all their professions of establishing justice, or of maintaining justice, or of regarding justice, are simply the mere gibberish of fools, or the frauds of impostors.” - Lysander Spooner, Natural Law.

JUSTICE: If justice is to be for sale then I would rather have it supplied by competitors, among whom I can freely choose, than by a territorial monopoly system. - JZ, 16.11.02. - THROUGH COMPETITION RATHER THAN ENFORCED & TERRITORIAL UNIFORMITY

JUSTICE: If justice perishes then the survival of man on earth is no longer of value.” – (“Wenn die Gerechtigkeit untergeht, hat es keinen Wert mehr, dass Menschen auf Erden leben.”) - Kant, Metaphysik der Sitten. – Since justice has never fully prevailed on Earth – have man and mankind become valueless? – At least the unofficial and the official terrorists seem to think so. - JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. - MAN, MANKIND, SURVIVAL, NWT, PEOPLE AS PROPERTY INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY, INDIVIDUAL SECESSIONISM & PERSONAL LAW OR PANARCHISM FOR ALL KINDS OF VOLUNTEERS

JUSTICE: If mankind does not relinquish at once, and forever, its vain, mad, and fatal dream of justice, the world will lapse into barbarism.” - George Moore, Confessions of a Young Man, VIII, 1888. - Rather, let people practise their different systems of justice among themselves. Only such a tolerant system is over-all just to all. - JZ, 10.7.86. – Is genuine justice really eagerly pursued? Do most people even know and appreciate genuine individual rights and liberties or show a serious interest in them? – The widespread barbarism lies in ignorance of and disrespect for or disinterest in these rights and liberties. - JZ, 16.1.09. - PANARCHISM, BARBARISM, PERSONAL LAW, CIVILIZATION, DIS., INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

JUSTICE: If men are to live together as civilised beings, then justice, not sacrifice, must be the ruling principle among them. Just as productiveness is the primary expression of man's rationality in his relationship to nature, so justice is the primary expression of man is rationality in his relationship to other men.” - Ayn Rand, quoted in a paper by Mrs. Young, on A. R., p.17.

JUSTICE: If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected – those, precisely, who need the law's protection most! – and listens to their testimony. –James Baldwin, African-American Author, "No Name in the Street." – His first question should have been: is this service competitively provided or monopolistically and territorially? – JZ, 21.4.13. - JUSTICE SYSTEMS & THEIR INVOLUNTARY VICTIMS, COMPETING JUSTICE SYSTEMS ALL ONLY FOR VOLUNTEERS

JUSTICE: If the idea that we form of justice and right is ill defined, if it is imperfect or even false, it is clear that all our legislative applications will be wrong, our institutions vicious, our politics erroneous; and, consequently, there will be disorder and chaos.” - Proudhon, What is Property? 1840, in Tucker's translation, p.26/27. Unfortunately, this work, too, expressed and led to many chaotic thoughts and actions. – JZ, 16.1.09.

JUSTICE: If there is any society among robbers and murderers, they must at least, according to the trite observation, abstain from robbing and murdering one another. Beneficence, therefore, is less essential to the existence of society than justice. Society may subsist, though not in the most comfortable state, without beneficence; but the prevalence of injustice must utterly destroy it.” – Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, in David Boaz, ed., The Libertarian Reader, The Free Press, 1997, p.59. – It, too, is copyrighted. Libertarians have so far not even settled the question of copyrights between them. I recently bought, second-hand, for only A$1 and watched the disc of a 2000 Metro Goldwyn Meyer movie, which attacks intellectual property rights claims. It is called “ANTITRUST”. Typically, it is copyrighted by MGM and also, 2006, by Twentieth Century Fox. –  It should be included in a list of libertarian movies. - JZ, 11.5.13. - BENEFICENCE, BENEVOLENCE & SOCIETY, COPYRIGHTS, PATENTS, IP, LIBERTARIAN MOVIES

JUSTICE: If you seek peace you will not find it but if you obtain justice you will find peace.” - General Montgomery. – How many different definitions of justice and of peace are there? Which ones of them are correct and closely related to each other? – JZ, 11.5.13. - PEACE.

JUSTICE: If you want justice, hire an arbitrator or subscribe to a free jury system. But if you insist, you should be free to hire a lawyer and judge - to lead you away from your rights and liberties as far as you like. - JZ, 5.4.99. - COURTS, JURIES

JUSTICE: If you want justice, leave government courts, judges, lawyers, laws, parliaments, politicians, and bureaucrats alone. Don't support or obey them, when you can help it. Rather secede from them. Establish or choose your own juridical system. – JZ, 5.4.99. - With as much freedom of choice and freedom of action and experimentation finally established for individuals and their voluntary associations, we would soon make fast progress with the realization of justice on earth. As it is, our individual rights and liberties are almost strangled by avalanches of laws and court decisions. - JZ, 27.10.02. – PANARCHISM, POLYARCHISM, VOLUNTARISM, ASSOCIATIONISM, FULL FREEDOM OF CONTRACT & ASSOCIATION, LAISSEZ FAIRE NOT ONLY IN ECONOMICS BUT ALSO FOR POLITICAL & SOCIAL SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THOSE OF E.G.

JUSTICE: If your Justice will not far exceed the justice of scholars and Pharisees, then you will not get to the heavenly empire.” - Pestalozzi, Lienhard & Gertrud, p.165. Kapitel, Motto. - (Wenn eure Gerechtigkeit nicht weit uebertreffen wird die Gerechtigkeit der Schriftgelehrten und Pharisaeer, so werdet ihr nicht ins Reich des Himmels eingehen.)

JUSTICE: In a footnote, Spooner paraphrases a follower of Blackstone to say "that, when no law has been made in violation of justice, judicial tribunals, 'in all ages and nations', have 'seldom' failed to agree as to what justice is." - Lysander Spooner, Works, I, p. 4. & 9, in comments by Charles Chively on his writings on natural law,

JUSTICE: In a just society, each individual should be rewarded for his energy, his talents, his productivity and his service. He ought not to be rewarded because of his privileged position as an official of the State. Neither should he be penalized, as he so often is today, by the State because he puts in a better than average performance at what he knows or does best. Justice requires that each man be free to prove his excellence and to enjoy the rewards of his efforts as they are accorded to him by those who pay for them and are therefore best able to judge their value. - It is well that we remember that who robs another of his reward, diminishes not only his own status, but deprives all of society of the benefits it might otherwise gain from the energies and productivity of every citizen. -- The government that robs its citizens of their reward, upon whatever pretext, diminishes not only the stature of its citizens, but condemns the nation to a future of poverty and despair.” - Morris Shumiatcher, THE FREEMAN, 8/75, p.493. - TAXATION

JUSTICE: In a really just cause the weak conquer the strong.” - Sophocles, Oedipus Coloneous, c. 450 B.C. - Especially when they are not weak in numbers, ideas and weapons and if they manage to mobilize the deserters from the conscripts of the strong for the just common cause. - How often has it happened in wars that all justice was on one side and all injustice on the other side? A truly just cause, well advocated, as just war and peace aims, can largely count on the soldiers and officers of the unjust regime, to either desert or rise or let themselves be taken prisoners without resistance. - JZ, 10.7.86, 27.10.02. – Alas, under territorialism the just cases are more often defeated by the powerful rather than becoming victorious. – JZ, 16.1.09. – The troops on both sides should rise and fraternize together, against their governments and for quite rightful peace aims, preferably sufficiently declared already long before a war occurs. A rightful revolution and military insurrection program should also be ready for this occasion, as well as e.g. a Free Trade, Free Migration and full monetary and financial freedom program to assure full employment, easy sales for wanted goods and services and rapid development for all countries that adopt them. – JZ, 11.5.13. – How many are so far interested in collaborating to provide such declarations and programs? An in pondering what contributions a quite rightful militia could make? – Interest in the own major affairs does not yet go deep enough even among most anarchists, libertarians and peace lovers. - JZ, 21.9.13. - STRENGTH, POWER, MIGHT, DESERTION, MILITARY INSURRECTION, REVOLUTION, DES., WAR & PEACE AIMS, FRATERNIZATION, MONETARY & FINANCIAL FREEDOM, FREE MIGRATION, FREE TRADE, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, MILITIA, RIGHTFUL WAR & PEACE AIMS & LIBERATION, DEFENCE & REVOLUTION PROGRAMS

JUSTICE: In most government courts, most of the time, justice is "negatively present". - A term quoted from L. Neil Smith, Contact & Commune, p.99. - & COURTS

JUSTICE: In one of the most vitriolic epistles he addressed to the officials of government, Spooner insisted that it is not the Constitution that is the supreme law of the land but justice. "And if you do not know it", he wrote one of his unfortunate victims, "your ignorance is so dense as to be pitiable." - There are those who argue that liberty is lost to the American people because the Constitution has been neglected, he rasped, but freedom can never be sustained in the land where people are taught to slavishly follow the exact letter of the Constitution as though it were a book of commandments bequeathed to them by a supreme lawgiver. Only justice possesses enough majesty to be accorded a place of honor in our consciences.” - W. O. Reichert, Partisans of Freedom, p.125.

JUSTICE: In our States one mostly dispenses justice in a format that is more terrible than injustice itself.” - J. G. Seume, Apokryphen. - (Man gibt in unsern  Staaten meistens der Gerechtigkeit eine Form, die schrecklicher ist als die Ungerechtigkeit selbst.) – I would rather have said that the crimes of the official territorially ruling criminals are usually much larger than those of their private competitors. – Some justice and tolerance, some liberties and rights do still exist even under territorial governments. – They are not so powerful and efficient that they can always suppress all of them. Not even totalitarian regimes “achieved” that. They multiply underground activities, however dangerous they are under such conditions. (But then no territorial regime has ever been confronted by the liberation program of a federation of diverse panarchies, already established somewhere, at least as governments and societies in exile.) They even achieve an unmerited popularity, at least among statists, by upholding e.g. Welfare State claims posing as genuine rights and liberties. Compare e.g the “Four Freedoms” of Roosevelt. - JZ, 11.5.13. – GOVERNMENTS VS. CRIMINALS, TERRITORIALISM, FORMALITIES, TECHNICALITIES & RITUALS, WELFARE STATES, INDIVDIUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES VS.

JUSTICE: In the halls of justice, as more than one cynic has observed, justice is usually done in the halls. There "bargaining within the shadow of the law" transpires in a tawdry setting that most closely resembles a commodities exchange.” - Jerold S. Auerbach, Justice Without Law? p.143. - COURTS, PLEA BARGAINING, LAWYERS

JUSTICE: In the search for justice, injustice must not be practised. - Solneman, (K. H. Z.), LERNZIEL ANARCHIE, Nr. 2, S. 38.

JUSTICE: In the whole constitution of man, I cannot see any virtue contrary to justice, whereby it may be resisted and opposed.” - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus: Meditations.

JUSTICE: Iniquity, committed in this world, produces not fruit immediately, but, like the earth, in due season, and advancing by little and little, it eradicates the man who committed it. ... justice, being destroyed, will destroy (*); being preserved, will preserve; it must never therefore be violated.” – Man, 1200 B.C. – Sent by C.B. - (*) When already destroyed, then it cannot destroy. Anyhow, justice can’t be blamed then but rather those, who committed the injustice to destroy justice. – A flawed translation? - JZ, 30.12.07. - VS. INJUSTICE

JUSTICE: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Martin Luther King, 1963.

JUSTICE: Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.” - Ascribed to Mencken, by Mack Reynolds: Trample an Empire Down, p. 117/8. – Tell that to survivors of extermination camps or present victims of totalitarianism, tyranny, despotism. – JZ, 11.5.13. – Who feels stung by justice? The guilty or the innocent? – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: It is also a subject of science, and is to be learned, like mathematics, or any other science. It does not derive its authority from the commands, will, pleasure, or discretion of any possible combination of men, whether calling themselves a government, or by any other name.” – Lysander Spooner, A Letter to Grover Cleveland, p.3. – It can only be established by and for volunteers, for their own affairs, corresponding to their own ideas of justice, individual rights and liberties. Even the most advanced, scientific and objectively just system cannot be rightfully imposed upon communities of volunteers that have different notions of justice, rights and liberties for their own affairs. The right to make mistakes and to err, at the own expense and risk, should be respected in this sphere as well. – JZ, 11.5.13. – INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY & SECESSIONISM, PERSONAL LAW, EXTERRITORIAL AUTONOMY FOR VOLUNTEERS, VS. SCIENTIFIC OR OBJECTIVE LAWS, JUSTICE & SYSTEMS, TERRITORIALLY IMPOSED.

JUSTICE: It is also in the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus offers the classical formulation of a notion of justice that embraces retribution as well as distribution: 'the measure you give, shall be the measure you get.' But the distinctive conception of justice in the New Testament is that on the day of judgment few will be saved from eternal torment. The idea that any man - not even to speak of most of mankind - should be punished with eternal torture is so repugnant to liberals that millions refuse to acknowledge its presence where it stares them in the face.” - Walter Kaufmann, Without Guilt and Justice, p.43. – Hell’s eternal and extreme punishments, imposed by a loving “god”, upon some of his or her supposed children. This “loving” and “almighty” father or mother rather punishes, usually much later, than prevents crimes. – JZ, 11.5.13, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: it is better to have wise people reprimand you than have stupid people sing your praises.” – Ecclesiastes 7.5. - JUSTIFIED CRITICISM ABOVE UNDESERVED COMPLIMENTS, WISDOM, CRITICISM“

JUSTICE: it is the definition of justice that each shall enjoy the fruit of his own labor and self-denial, and of injustice that the idle and industrious, the self-indulgent and the self-denying, shall share equally in the product.” - W. G. Sumner, as quoted in THE FREEMAN, 5/73, p. 293. – PRIVATE PROPERTY VS. COMMUNISM, STATE SOCIALISM, IMPOSED TERRITORIAL COLLECTIVISM

JUSTICE: It is the science of peace: and the only science of peace: since it is the science which alone can tell us on what conditions mankind can live in peace, or ought to live in peace, with each other.” - Lysander Spooner, Natural Law. - However, for many centuries most people overlooked and they still do - that this would require the abolition of territorial States and their jurisdiction and their replacement by exterritorially autonomous volunteer communities and their various and peacefully coexisting justice systems. One territorial justice system for all amounts to injustice to many people who disagree on principles, means and methods, punishments, rehabilitation and preventative steps against crimes. - JZ, 16.11.02, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Judgement delayed is judgement voided.” - Sanhedrin, 952. – DELAYS, JUDGMENT

JUSTICE: Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.” - Walt Whitman: Democratic Vistas, 1870. - The major human institutions have still to be based or established upon just principles only. All just means and principles, including all individual rights and liberties, must be used or introduced to safeguard justice. In the extreme case, the chained slave can hardly guaranty justice and liberty or become even fully aware of them. - JZ, 10.7.86, 28.10.02. – Schiller wrote somewhere something like: Beware of the slave when he breaks his chains.

JUSTICE: justice - in contrast to a grant of privilege - is the absence of any deterrent to the creative aspirations of any individual.

Is it freely and competitively offered for sale or territorially forced upon all too many dissenters? – JZ, 11.5.13.

Justice and freedom are states-of-affairs that must be created and maintained by human effort.” - Don Franzen, Reply to Peter Crosby's "Utopia of Competition", THE PERSONALIST. – Services should be distinguished from goods. –  At least full justice and freedom shine by their absence under territorialism – in my imperfect eyesight and understanding. – Will those, who can see them, please, point them out to me? - JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: Justice and generosity do not go hand in hand, the hand of generosity being commonly thrust into the pocket of justice.” - A. Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary, under "Fable". – Did he mean: into the pockets of those, who make unjust decisions?

JUSTICE: Justice and law are distant cousins - and in South Africa they are not even on speaking terms.” - From film: A Dry White Summer, seen 12/92 on Prime TV. – Territorial law cannot be good enough for all; only the diversity of self-chosen personal law can be. One of the numerous lessons from history that is not yet generally recognized as such. – JZ, 16.1.09. – PERSONAL LAW VS. TERRITORIAL LAW, PANARCHISM, HISTORY

JUSTICE: justice and so-called social justice are opposites and that to promote the latter is to retard the former.” - L. E. Read, Who's Listening? p.93. - VS. SOCIAL JUSTICE

JUSTICE: justice as fairness." - The two terms are close relatives and there is a tendency for 'fair' to replace 'just' in much colloquial speech.

JUSTICE: Justice be done, even if the world perishes thereupon.” – (Fiat justitia et pereat mundus.”) - (Gerechtigkeit werde geuebt, und sollte die Welt dabei zu Grunde gehen!) - Motto of Emperor Ferdinand I, who died in 1564.

JUSTICE: justice between man and man, and maximum liberty for each person.” - Edmund A. Opitz, THE FREEMAN, 5/73. – Justice between humans, whether male or female, regardless of their race, religion or ideology. Only among like-minded volunteers may they deviate as much as they like from this rule, in voluntary but only personal law not territorial segregation. Integration, too, should be voluntary not compulsory. Also any degree of the reduction of the practice of individual rights and liberties – among volunteers, thus expanding e.g. the choices monks and nuns made for themselves.– Self-responsible freedom of action and experimentation for all, even for the statists, doing their things only to themselves. – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Justice consists in not taking anything from anyone that belongs to him.” – Retranslation of: “Gerechtigkeit besteht darin, von keinem Menschen etwas zu nehmen, was ihm gehoert.” - Hobbes. – Compare “Suum cuique!” & xyz other versions. - PROPERTY

JUSTICE: Justice consists in the compliance with custom in all matters of difference between men. … this accords with the definition of the Roman law.” - James Coolidge Carter. - While this might be a sufficient standard for justice within a community of volunteers, with its personal law system, it is not automatically a good enough guide for the interrelationships between different volunteer-communities, unless on agrees, in advance, to adopt either the law of the defender or that of the accuser or the decisions of a court in which all parties are equally presented in their judges. I hold that a highly developed individual rights code would be a better guide to follow. However, agreement on this is also a matter of negotiation between such exterritorially autonomous communities, with their competing legal and juridical systems. - JZ, 25.11.02, 21.9.13.as a.

JUSTICE: Justice contains the sum of all virtue, and every just man, Kyrnos, is good.” - Greek poet Theognis, in the 2nd. half of the 6th. century B.C. – Quoted by Walter Kaufmann, Without Guilt and Justice, p.38. – GOODNESS, JUST MEN

JUSTICE: Justice has nothing to do with expediency. It has nothing to do with any temporary standard whatever. It is rooted and grounded in the fundamental instincts of humanity.” - Woodrow Wilson, Speech in Washington, Feb. 26, 1916. – If it is firmly grounded there – why isn’t it generally realized as yet? - JZ, 16.1.09. – Have the moral sense, reason, rationality, individual rights and liberties  as well as natural rights and law nothing to do with it? – Sweeping generalizations do all too often miss some of the most important points – or sweep them under the carpet. – JZ, 21.9.13. - EXPEDIENCY, FOR REASONS OF STATE, STATE SECURITY, GENERALIZATIONS, ABSTRACT NOTIONS

A. Childs Jr., INDIVIDUALIST, May 71, p.5.

JUSTICE: Justice is a firm and continuous desire to render to everyone that which is his due.” - Justinian, Institutiones, I, 1. In another version: “Justice is a firm and unceasing determination to render to every person his due.” – Justinian, Institutes, Book I. – However since there were and are very different notions on how to carry out this ideal, they should all be freely practised among their volunteers in exterritorially autonomous communities, peacefully coexisting and competing with each other for members and customers or clients. – JZ, 2.10.07. – Still another translation: “Justice is a steady and unceasing disposition to render to every man his due.” – (Justitia est constans et perpetua voluntas jus suum cuique tribuendi.) - Carl Watner, Justice, p.15, quoting Justinian, Institutiones, Bk.i, sec.1.

JUSTICE: Justice is a straight line.” – (Justitia est linma recti.) – Carl Watner, Justice, p.21. – Linea? – How many politicians, rulers, lawmakers, judges, policemen, bureaucrats, go quite straight along the line of justice, so defined?

JUSTICE: Justice is always the same, whether it be due from one man to a million, or from a million to one man.” - Chief Justice Jay. – But different peoples and individuals among populations have quite different ideas on justice and should thus be free to practise them, together with like-minded people, in their own communities of volunteers. Between these communities an international law ought to prevail that is largely based on non-interference and respect for all those genuine individual rights and liberties that are claimed and, usually practices among members of other communities, even if they are not fully claimed and practised in the own community. No community to lay down the law for other communities! – Respect the customs, constitutions, laws, jurisdictions of others, in your dealings with them, even when they do disagree with your own – or simply abstain from dealing with them! - JZ, 17.1.09. – PANARCHISM, HUMAN RIGHTS, INTERNATIONAL LAW, NON-INTERVERVENTION

JUSTICE: Justice is blind" - they say. And how! - JZ, 24.11.92. – What effective avenues are there today, for individuals and groups of individuals, to fight all the millions of injustices in the world? – E.g., a comprehensive declaration of all genuine individual rights and liberties as well as a militia for their protection are both still amiss. We are not even free to secede from despotic regimes and to live with other volunteers under personal laws. - JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: Justice is effective coordination.” - Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy, p. 29 or 39. – If that were true then an effective General Staff plan for the conquest of a country, exactly carried out, would constitute justice! – Effective coordination of what and between whom and for what purpose? – JZ, 16.1.09.

Szmak, in "The Four Blind Spots". – Such general formulas hit one of my blind spots. – JZ, 16.1.09. – I do prefer generalizations like “equal individual rights and liberties” - for all who know and respect them, at least for all their own affairs among like-minded volunteers That would also include tolerance for people who love to restrict their own rights and liberties in all their affairs with like-minded other volunteers, e.g. like-minded statists. – JZ, 11.5.13. – GENERALIZATIONS, VOLUNTARISM, COMPETING GOVERNANCE, SOCIETIES & COMMUNITIES, ALL WITH DIFFERENT ECONOMIC, SOCIAL & POLITICAL STANDARDS FOR THEMSELVES.

JUSTICE: Justice is fast becoming subservient to political ideology.” - Quoted in NEWS DIGEST INTERNATIONAL, 6/73. – The pretence of justice can be subservient to political ideology, not true justice. Or whatever they perceive to be justice can be rightfully applied among volunteers. – People have not yet subscribed to an ideal universal code of individual rights and liberties. They have not even seriously tried to develop one, although it is high time for it. – Until they produce it and fully agree on it, they could and should have only their own voluntary and panarchistic approaches towards it, with all their remaining errors, mistakes and prejudices that they still subscribe to. - JZ, 16.1.09. – PANARCHISM, PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE

JUSTICE: Justice is founded in the rights bestowed by nature upon man. Liberty is maintained in the security of justice.” - Description on the Department of Justice Building, Washington. - RIGHTS, NATURE, SECURITY & LIBERTY

JUSTICE: Justice is impotent without power while power is tyrannical without justice. Justice encounters much contradiction when it is powerless, because there will always be evil men. Power becomes accused when it is not just. Thus one has to combine justice with power and to achieve that one has to make that powerful what is just or to make that just what is powerful.” – (Die Gerechtigkeit ist ohnmaechtic ohne die Macht; die Macht ist tyrannisch ohne die Gerechtigkeit. Die Gerechtigkeit erfaehrt viel Widerspruch, wenn sie keine Macht hat, weil es immer boese Menschen gibt; die Macht wird angeklagt, wenn sie nicht gerecht ist. Man muss also die Gerechtigkeit und die Macht vereinigen; und dazu muss man bewirken, dass das maechtig sei, was gerecht ist, oder dass gerecht sei, was maechtig ist.) - Pascal, Gedanken, 257, ed.

JUSTICE: Justice is nothing but the love of neighbours by the wise.” – (Die Gerechtigkeit ist nichts anderes als die Naechstenliebe der Weisen.”) - Leibniz. - The love of fools for fools can lead to unjust actions. – Should the wise love the unwise adults, too? One can be very polite and even neighborly to one's neighbor - without being quite just to any of them, especially to "aliens" and "foreigners" and when it comes to voting for or against politicians and on tax and immigration laws or monetary despotism. - JZ, 5.7.92, 161.09. - LOVE, NEIGHBORLINESS

JUSTICE: Justice is that which exists when all laws are enforced.” - Isaac Asimov, The Caves of Steel, GALAXY SF, No. 13, UK, 73. - Rather, when only very few laws are enforced, the few that are quite just - while all other laws are ignored, repealed, resisted or broken, for they only increase the injustices in this world. - JZ, 7.10.00, 9.2.02, 11.5.13. – Proverbial “wisdom” is mostly all too imprecise and incomplete.

LAWS, JUSTICE ONLY IN FORM OF THE LAW OR OF PERSONAL LAWS, PANARCHISM

Sie wurde und wird solange verfolgt, bis sie verwirklicht oder die Freiheit verloren ist.) - e. - Territorial government does not lead to justice but away from it - in all too many ways and for all too many people. Only freely competing societies and communities of volunteers, exterritorially quite autonomous, are likely to approach it, even fast, competitively, in accordance with their own ideas of justice. – Justice isn’t really pursued by most, e.g. with as much fervor as they engage in sex, sports, amusements, travels, entertainments, arts, fashions, hobbies and crafts. It was never fully realized and if it were and if it were then lost, it could be recovered, unless, in the process, mankind is wiped out. - JZ, 5.7.92, 27.10.02, 16.1.09. – SOCIETY, GOVERNMENTS, PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: Justice is the arithmetic of love.” – (“Gerechtigkeit ist die Arithmetik der Liebe.”) - Masaryk. - Rather, of knowledge, reason, understanding and respect. - JZ, 28.10.02. – Are all murders out of jealousy merely mistakes in the arithmetic of love? What about the cases of murder, robbery, embezzlement and theft where love is not involved at all, except the love of money? Too many attempted explanations do not explain enough. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – LOVE, CRIMES WITH VICTIMS

JUSTICE: Justice is the basis, motivation, method and reward of being self-governing. So it can never be perfect. Perfect justice is realistically recognized as beyond human capacities to understand, much less codify and enforce. Recognition of this simple reality would spare us all the plans, platitudes and harmful interventions of the political perfectionists. How far have we departed from self-government?” - Joan Marie Leonard, THE FREEMAN, Feb. 77. - About as far as we have come away from the better declarations of individual rights and liberties, which are more or less despised or ignored by all too many legislators, lawyers and judges - not only by most citizens. - JZ, 28.10.02. – No serious attempt seems to be made, so far, to use the Internet to produce an ideal declaration of all individual rights and liberties. – Not even by anarchists and libertarians! – In this respect they have largely disarmed themselves and destroyed their best intellectual ammunition – or left it unused. – JZ, 16.1.09. – My anthology of private human rights declarations, online for years, at www.butterbach.net - remains ignored as a resource towards such a declaration. – JZ, 11.5.13. -  SELF-GOVERNMENT, HUMAN RIGHTS, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

JUSTICE: Justice is the bread of the nation. It always hungers for it.” – (Gerechtigkeit ist das Brot der Nation; sie hungert immer danach.). - Châteaubriand. - Oh, if only this were the case! All too many try to make a living through injustices. – E.g. political and private criminals with victims. People who really hungered for justice would soon establish it among themselves. - Indeed, we are undernourished if we consider justice as a food. But we are overeating “junk-food” in this sphere and make ourselves sick, poor, insecure and also all too unfree thereby. Injustices are dispensed to us, quite regularly and in many forms - without us becoming aware of them in all too many cases. E.g. via the flood of legislation, largely unreadable for most people, because of its sheer volume. However, if justice were clearly proposed, realized and lived under by a minimum number of people, all volunteers, in our neighborhood, with their actions and institutions viewed almost daily and if we were free to choose among the various justice systems freely practised among their believers, then more and more people, enjoying consumer sovereignty, free enterprise, freedom of association and freedom of contract, in this sphere as well, would come to prefer genuine justice systems for themselves, even though these might still somewhat differ in details from each other. - JZ, 5.7.92, 27.10.02, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – PANARCHISM, FREE CHOICE AMONG SOCIETIES & GOVERNMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY & SECESSIONISM, VOLUNTARISM

JUSTICE: Justice is the constant and perpetual will to give each man his right.” - Digest of Justinian. – In other words, how unjust are we, if we are not hard at work to finally produce, between us, an ideal declaration of all individual rights and liberties? – JZ, 16.1.09. – And how unjust are we if we do not strive to realize competition in the provision of the services of justice? – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society.” - James Madison, The Federalist, No. 51. - True justice realized would end territorial governments and would establish, finally, truly civil, because free societies. - Did territorial governments ever sufficiently aim at justice through individual rights and liberties rather than power? - JZ, 16.11.02. – Q., GOVERNMENTALISM, STATISM, TERRITORIALISM, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

JUSTICE: Justice is the end of government.” - Daniel Defoe, The True-born Englishman, II, 1, 368, 1701. - Defoe's remark is rather ambiguously expressed. It could mean that justice will end governments or that justice is what governments really aim at. I would rather say: Territorial governments won't achieve justice but justice will end territorial governments. - JZ 5.7.82, 11.5.13. - Although it is not the aim and method of territorial governments, the establishment of true justice would indeed end these governments. - JZ, 17.10.85, 10.7.86, 27.10.02. - Has Defoe’s formula ever been the true aim of any territorial government? Will not the realization of true justice mean the end of any territorially imposed government? - JZ, 2.4.99. - Indeed, the realization of true justice would mean ending all territorial governments. - Territorial governments usually strove more for power than genuine justice. They only pretended to provide the latter and defence and protection etc. - JZ, 16.11.02. – I know of no territorial government that ever seriously tried and could achieve, as such, genuine justice for all peaceful people, however different their ideals may be. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. - GOVERNMENT, TERRITORIALISM, PANARCHISM

Subjectively, alas, it is not, for most people. - JZ, 5.7.92, 28.10.02. – If it really were the greatest interest of all or most people then we would already generally experience it and no unjust laws would be passed, remain un-repealed and enforced any longer. – What should, objectively, at least for reasonable and moral beings, be of greatest interest to them, does, as a rule, just bore most people - as they are. – They won’t think, listen or read about it. - JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – “I won’t read freedom books!” - INTERESTS, UTILITARIANISM, SELF-INTEREST

JUSTICE: Justice is the only foundation of power and duration for the State as well as the only connection of human society.” – (Gerechtigkeit ist der einzige Grund der Macht and der Dauer des Staates sowie das einzige Band der menschlichen Gesellschaft.) - Wieland. - Organized injustice establishes and maintains territorial States, at least injustice towards dissenting but peaceful minorities. For free societies justice is the main tie. Only the justice between various exterritorial and autonomous communities has to be somewhat alike, no matter how much their internal justice systems may differ. - JZ, 5.7.92. - Contrary to Wieland, many territorial States were established and all too long maintained by great injustices. That would be much harder, to outright impossible, for communities that are only exterritorially autonomous and whose members are free to secede and have the chance to observe the different practices among numerous diverse communities all around them. - JZ, 27.10.02. – TERRITORIALISM VS. PANARCHISM, POWER, STATE, SOCIETY, INTERNATIONAL LAW, INJUSTICE, DOMINATION VS. MINORITY AUTONOMY

JUSTICE: Justice is the only foundation upon which a society of free and independent people can exist.  Justice is a concrete, recognizable, and objective principle.  It is not a matter of opinion. - Leslie Snyder, The Freeman [March 1980]

JUSTICE: Justice is the restoration of property to its just owner. Justice is restitution.” - Barnett & Rothbard view, according to Walter Grinder, An Introduction to Libertarian Thought, p.21. – I would rather say that justice requires liberation of all individuals to the extent that they know and appreciate individual rights and liberties and wish to apply them among themselves, while they do respect these rights in the members of other societies, communities and governance systems of volunteers, to the extent that these wish them to be respected. If they do ignore them among their own members then they can hardly rightly complain if others do also ignore them, in their relations with them. At least until they have claimed a monopoly for their members for all infringements of human rights, which they, among themselves, do not claim and realize. I can hardly imagine such a situation, but some fools may try to realize that one as well. – However, those who know and appreciate individual rights and liberties will hardly be inclined to offend against them in the members of other communities, which do not yet fully know, appreciate and respect them among themselves. For that would hurt the good reputation of such meddlers, who would then respect all rights and liberties only in their voluntary members but not, fully, in foreigners, i.e. voluntary members of other societies etc. – JZ, 11.5.13. – Upon such actions they might also become excommunicated by their own community or society, as offenders against its basic principles, even though only against outsiders. – JZ, 21.9.13. - PROPERTY, RESTITUTION, INDEMNIFICATION, GENUINE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES FOR ALL, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY DO CLAIM THEM FOR THEMSELVES.

JUSTICE: Justice is the sum of all moral (ethical) duties.” – (Gerechtigkeit ist die Summe aller sittlichen Pflichten.) – William Godwin, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, 1793. – Another version: “Justice is the sum of all moral duty.” - And of all genuine rights and liberties! - JZ, n.d., & 28.10.02. - DUTIES, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, MORALITY, ETHICS

JUSTICE: Justice is the supreme God, it is the living God, the all-powerful God, ...” - Proudhon, Oevres Complete de P. J. Proudhon, De la Justice Dans La Revolution et Dans l'Eglise, vol. I, p.225. – I read in two places that all the writings of P. are still not published, not even in French. Is that still true, even when it comes to publication in alternative and very affordable media? – JZ, 21.9.13. - GOD

JUSTICE: Justice is the very first condition of all society, and indeed a condition of human life prior to society. Justice consists essentially in regard to two rights that belong by nature to every man, namely, liberty and property.” - View ascribed to Dr. Quesnay in "Natural Right", 1765, and Mercier de la Riviere, in: "The Natural and Essential Order of Political Societies", 1757. – Why are so many satisfied with as short and incomplete declarations of individual rights and liberties? Do they just wish to save further thinking on this subject? – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Justice is therefore the aggregate of those conditions under which the will of one person can be conjoined with the will of another in accordance with a universal law of freedom.” - Kant, Justice, p.230, Ladd, p.34. - In Murphy, on Kant’s philosophy of right, p.112. – FREEDOM, RIGHTS, RIGHT, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES

Also ascribed to Winston Churchill: - How often did he know it and put it into action? - JZ, 7.1.86. - Shooting off an IBM with a nuclear warhead is truly an action, but is it just? - At most one could say that justice is the realization of genuine individual rights and liberties. - JZ, 5.7.92. - If I drop something on Earth, it will fall, unless it is tied, glued, nailed or screwed on or otherwise held up. This is true, but is it justice? Obviously, he meant only the use of truths for relationships between people. But even there: Is total frankness and expression of all the opinions one has of others, in their presence or in their absence, always demanded by "justice"? In certain situations one should not lie or remain silent - but in others! Formulas can be expressed in so general terms that they become rather useless. - JZ, 16.11.02. – “What is the truth?” – Pilato. As Kant pointed out, a truth is a correct statement on facts and relationships. Since there are trillions of facts and relationships, “the truth” on everything does not and cannot exist, only the trillions of truths on trillions of facts and relationships can and do exist, at least in some minds. – JZ, 11.5.13. – An irresponsible husband and father may truly gamble away all the property of his family. Would that be truth in action? – JZ, 21.9.13. - TRUTH

JUSTICE: Justice may be called, of all things, the miracle worker amongst men.” - John Bright, 1868.

JUSTICE: Justice may be defined, [as] that virtue which impels us to give to every person what is his due. In this extended sense of the word, it comprehends the practice of every virtue, which reason prescribes, or society should expect. Our duty to our Maker, to each other, and to ourselves, are fully answered, if we give them what we owe them. Thus justice, properly speaking, is the only virtue; and all the rest have their origin in it. - The qualities of candor, fortitude, charity, and generosity, for instance, are not, in their own nature, virtues; and if ever they deserve the title, it is owing only to justice, which impels and directs them. Without such a moderator, candor might become indiscretion, fortitude obstinacy, charity imprudence, and generosity mistaken profusion. …” - Oliver Goldsmith, The Bee, No. III, p.364. – What do we owe to our maker, the invisible and most likely non-existing “God”? What good are sacrifices or worship or thanks to a perfect being? – A being, if it exists, so perfect that it also causes all natural catastrophes and all kinds of diseases and pestilences for its children and does not even prevent wars and mass murders among them! - JZ, 21.9.13. – VIRTUES, GOD, WORSHIP, SACRIFICES, FAITH

JUSTICE: Justice means: Recognize the other and respect where you cannot love.” – (Gerecht sein heisst: den anderen als anderen gelten zu lassen, es heisst: da anerkennen, wo man nicht lieben kann.) - Pieper. - LOVE, RECOGNITION & RESPECT

JUSTICE: Justice obligates man to eschew violence and to stress attraction.” - Ridgway K. Foley Jr., THE FREEMAN, 5/74, referring to Leonard E.

JUSTICE: Justice ought to be stricter and cheaper: "Reason ought to teach us that justice can never be really such unless it is gratuitous so far as innocent parties are concerned; …" - S. Hutchinson Harris, The Doctrine of Personal Right, p.382. - Ascribing this view to and quoting Sir Roland Wilson, in The Province of the State, and also to Individualists. – It also ought to be achieved much faster and with much greater certainty than it is today! - JZ, 28.10.02, 11.5.13. – Insurance against court costs could at least come to cover otherwise unbearable defence costs. It might also cover the costs of suits for indemnification or get paid for it out of the indemnification or by the party found guilty. – JZ, 21.9.13. – DELAYS, INSURANCE

JUSTICE: Justice rather than love is needed for most relationships between most people. - JZ, 19.5.93. - The word "justice" may have been too unknown, vague and incomprehensible for those to whom Jesus Christ preached. Justice is still not widely enough comprehended today. - JZ, 27.10.02. There are even and still are xyz misunderstandings of love, leading to some murders out of jealousy under the wrong assumption that the person one loves is a piece of property. – The misconceptions on justice may be still as numerous or even more varied than are those on love. - JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. - VS.

JUSTICE: Justice rules when rights are respected or protected and individual responsibility applies to offenders. - JZ, ca. 1975-1980. - However, there is a limited case for applying collective responsibility to criminals with victims. If they do not form a mutual insurance company to make good all the damages they do, as far as that can be done, then such an organization can be forced upon them, financed via levies upon all those convicted of crimes with victims and with indemnification claims against them only being reduced in accordance with the information they supply on other criminals, not yet convicted for particular crimes. - See my articles on this in my PEACE PLANS series. - JZ, 16.11.02.

JUSTICE: Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical.” - Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662. – Another version: “Justice without power is inefficient; power without justice is tyranny. Justice without power is opposed, because there are always wicked men. Power without justice is soon questioned. Justice and power must therefore be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.” - Blaise Pascal, Pensees. - FORCE, POWER, TYRANNY

JUSTICE: Justice, not laws and regulations! - JZ, 13.5.92. - LAWS & REGULATIONS

JUSTICE: Justice, once disturbed, cannot be restored by indemnification between the victims alone. The offender (or similar types of offenders, rather than the general public must be held responsible for all the damages, including the costs of his apprehension. Different kinds of penal codes and judiciary systems and rehabilitation, punishment, deterrence and indemnification systems will be applied by different panarchies. - JZ, 28.7.84, 16.11.02. – At least one of them will hold all convicted criminals, at least all those guilty of the same kind of criminal offence, collectively responsible for all the indemnifications required to their victims. – JZ, 11.5.13. – INDEMNIFICATION, COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONVICTED CRIMINALS TO PROVIDE RESTITUTION, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.

JUSTICE: Justice, too, is largely a subjective value beyond the commands of non-interventionism or the non-initiation of force, or the equal claim of all rational beings to basic rights: individual rights and liberties, if and to the extent that they are aware of them and do appreciate and respect them. Thus it is differently conceived and practised among different people, doing their things to and for themselves and it is just that they do this rather than attempt to apply their concepts and practices of justice to those who do not agree with them. - To that extent it is just and fair that they do apply different laws or rules and policing, juridical and penal among themselves, like different kinds of sports and different churches apply different rules among their voluntary participants. - JZ, 16.11.02, 11.5.13. – However, in the long run, the free competition between them will come to clarify individual rights and liberties for all and will, gradually, move us towards a world-wide free and just society of sufficiently enlightened people. Its ideals, law, rights and liberties can now not be imposed but, at best, freely demonstrated by their subscribers. – JZ, 16.1.09.  SUBJECTIVE VALUE THEORY, RELATIVITY OF JUSTICE, EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM EVEN IN THIS SPHERE, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, PANARCHISM, ENLIGHTENMENT, A COSMOPOLITAN FREE & JUST SOCIETY – FINALLY, AFTER MANY DIFFERENT & PROLONGED EXPERIMENTS AMONG VOLUNTEERS!?

JUSTICE: Justice? Who asks for justice? We make our own justice. We make it here on Arrakis - win or die. Let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them. - Frank Herbert, Heretics of Dune, p.493. - Any conqueror and dictator and other "great" leader might have argued likewise, while committing, with armed force, one injustice after another. However, there is something very different about merely receiving justice from above, as a divine or political dispensation, and being involved in making or choosing and assisting a justice system of one's own. - JZ, 7.2.02. – MILITIA, VOLUNTARISM, ASSOCIATIONISM, CONTRACTARIANISM, PANARCHISM, POLYARCHISM, COMPETING GOVERNANCE, SOCIETES & COMMUNITIES, PERSONAL LAW

JUSTICE: Live and let live is the rule of common justice.” - in Sir Roger L'Etrange, Fables of Aesop, 127. – Should we continue the lives of all convicted mass murderers, at our expense? Or could they earn enough being displayed as wild animals in a zoo to cover their living expenses there and all the indemnification claims against them? Even numerous interviews with the mass media could hardly earn them that much. There is a case for the death penalty, at least sometimes, e.g. when it comes to tyrannicide. – JZ, 11.5.13. - TOLERANCE

JUSTICE: Maladministration of justice raises, very considerably, the cost of living for all.” - Herbert Spencer, The Study of Sociology, postscript.

JUSTICE: Man has a right to justice - at the expense of the aggressor, if he exists. The difference in this regard between justice and a good such as food, a job, or shelter, is this: to claim a 'right to food' is to demand something positive from others which it is not in their interest (*) to provide; but to claim a right to justice is to ask of others only the negative requirement of non-aggression. The cliché, "freedom isn't free", describes an undesirable present fact of reality. ... It certainly should not be mistaken for the ideal or for the condition of a truly libertarian society.” - R. A.

Williamson, Freehold, 353 – Justice usually does not come through voting. - JZ, 27.7.04. – Rather through reason and enlightenment, usually only found in individuals and in some minorities. Has the majority every clearly subscribed to all individual rights and liberties? Does it even know them or show a sufficient interest for them? – Not so far, not until it is, finally, sufficiently enlightened. One way to do so would be for more or less enlightened minorities to opt out and to try to set the best example for all others under personal laws and exterritorial autonomy for their volunteers. – Another, to attempt to sufficiently collaborate to produce an ideal declaration of this kind.

JUSTICE: not our own invented justice, which we have simply thought up to fit our convenient earthly paradise. There is a justice, which existed before us, without us and for its own sake. And our task is to divine what it is.” - Alexander Solzhenitsyn, August 14, p.476. - Rights apply only to rational beings, not to ants or spiders. Thus before man there were not human rights. They do not apply to stones, plants or animals, by their very nature. The totalitarian communists offered neither justice nor peace or freedom nor a State socialist paradise.

JUSTICE: Now, if von Mises and the Austrian school are correct in their conclusion that market means are the optimal mechanism for supplying human wants, then justice and freedom should be most efficiently produced by the free market.” - Don Franzen, Reply to Peter Crosby's "Utopia of Competition", THE PERSONALIST. – It is not the free market, which produces justice and freedom but it is individual rights and liberties, especially economic ones, which do produce a free market once they are realized. That was so far never the case. For instance, monetary and financial freedom are still largely suppressed in every territorial State and not fully recognized in any territorial constitution or statist bill of rights. – JZ, 11.5.13. – PANARCHISM, FREE MARKET, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, MONETARY & FINANCIAL FREEDOM

JUSTICE: Of all these things respecting which learned men dispute there is none more important than clearly to understand that we are born for justice, and that right is founded not in opinion, but in nature.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero, Laws (De Legibus). - Seldes, The Great Quotations, p.536. - RIGHTS, NATURAL LAW, MAN, HUMAN RIGHTS, LAW

JUSTICE: Of the two principles libertarians share: "Do No Injustice" and "Suffer No Injustice", the first injunction should be to "Suffer No Injustice" and the second "Do None". The certainty of meeting a firm and resolute resistance to injustice is far more powerful than a simple prohibition. The man who defends his life and just property defends the conditions required for his continued existence.” - Carl Watner, On Justice, quoting von Ihering, The Struggle for Law, 76 & 46.

JUSTICE: Once the meaning of justice is legalized and formalized, however, the rule of law (as the astute progressive essayist Herbert Croly understood) means "government by lawyers" conducted " in the interest of litigation." - Jerold S.

JUSTICE: One sometimes wonders what the American Civil Liberties union would have done if the Bill of Rights had included the article: "Congress shall pass no law obstructing the pursuit of justice." - William F. Buckley, Jr., in: Four Freedoms, p.102. – Was the CLU ever civilized and enlightened, just and tolerant enough to try to draft a declaration of all individual rights and liberties or did it always misunderstand or misinterpret these concepts and often even turned them into their opposite? – JZ, 11.5.13. - BILL OF RIGHTS & THE CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION

Ineptness, bungling, malpractice, and bad ethics can be observed in court houses all over this country every day." - Chief Justice Warren Burger. - JUSTICE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENTS, GOVERNMENT COURTS, JUDGES

JUSTICE: Peace without justice is tyranny.” - William Allen White. – The tyranny of a peace without justice, that ended WW I, led to at least 3 other tyrannies in Germany: Two of the monetary despotism kind: The Great Inflation and the Great Depression and, thirdly, to that of the Nazi Regime. – JZ, 16.1.09. – A fourth one was the totalitarianism of the East German regime. Monetary and financial despotism was continued under all regimes, even the democratic ones. – JZ, 21.9.13. - PEACE & TYRANNY

JUSTICE: Property and justice are water", he said finally. "No man can hold them long. I have spent many years in courtrooms, and I have seen property and justice change when a man speaks, change as the caterpillar changes to the butterfly. Do you understand me? I thought I had victory in my hands, and then the judge spoke and it went away. Like water running through the fingers." - Wilson/Shea, Illuminatus I, p.154. – All too typical for justice and legislation in the hands of the State. - JZ 8.1.1985, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Rawl ... arguing that "just institutions are those which allow creativity to all people." - W. Stoddard, "REASON", 3/74. – Our territorial and democratic institutions allowed a Hitler to become not only to be a paper hanger, draftsman and painter but also a tyrannical ruler over all German and much of Europe – for all too long. – From this alone we should conclude that they were and are not sufficiently just. – JZ, 16.1.09. – Compare Leonard E. Read’s frequent demand: “Release all creative energies!” Democratic and Republican governments passed too many wrongful laws, upheld to many monopolies and wrongful restrictions and institutions, e.g. tax tributes, protectionism and monetary as well as financial despotism. All their wrongs fall under the term territorialism. If they were only confined to their statist supporters, under their kind of personal law, individually adopted by all their voluntary members, then this and their consequences for them would serve them right. Full experimental freedom for all kinds of statists as well as all kinds of freedom lovers. This requires the abolition of territorialism, its wrongful centralization, monopolism, coercion and collectivism for all of them. – JZ, 11.5.13, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Since Spooner thought that justice was something that could be learned by all mankind, he considered it an impudence on the part of lawmakers to assume that the rest of mankind needed their commands to know what is and what is not just.” - Carl Watner, on Lysander Spooner, in Holterman, Law in Anarchism, p.132. - "The science of justice is as open to be learned by all other men, as by themselves (the legislators); and it is, in general, so simple and easy to be learned, that there is no need of, and no place for, any man, or body of men, to teach it, declare it, or command it, on their own authority." - Lysander Spooner, A Letter to Grover Cleveland, p. 5. - MAN, LAWMAKERS, JUDGES, LAWS

JUSTICE: so many lawyers, advocates, so many tribunals, so little justice; so many laws, yet never more disorders; the tribunal a labyrinth; to see a lamb executed, a wolf pronounce sentence?” - Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy, 1621. - Obviously, organized governmental injustice is nothing new. High time to overthrow this territorial imposition as well, not only in the sphere of religion and in that of private life styles, where it has already been widely abolished. - JZ, 27.10.02, 11.5.13. - INJUSTICE, COURTS, LAWYERS, LAWS, JUDGES, PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: Something as sensitive as justice shouldn't be administered by territorial governments. - JZ 29.6.74. - I.e., not by politicians and bureaucrats. Then it turns out even worse than art, music, charity, postal and transport services, police protection and defence administered by them as well as all approaches to nuclear disarmament and general peace. - They are so mistaken that e.g. they still do imagine that they can promote justice, freedom and prosperity by their avalanches of legislation! - JZ, 16.11.02, 11.5.13, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: Sparing justice feeds iniquity.” - Shakespeare, The Rape of Lucrece, 1594.

JUSTICE: Sumner advanced a fundamental principle of justice: "I am entitled to make the most I can of myself without hindrance from anybody, but I am not entitled to any guarantee that I should make as much of myself as somebody else makes of himself.” - W. G. Sumner, quoted by J. Marshall, JLS, Fall 79.

JUSTICE: governments have organized and practised injustice rather than justice. Full justice for all can only be organized exterritorially and by volunteer communities among their voluntary members. – How infective that example would be remains to be seen. - JZ, 24.11.92, 16.1.09. - Full justice does not mean uniform justice for all kinds of people but just the kind of justice, which they want for themselves and their own affairs. Territorial governments do not give all their subjects this option. - JZ, 27.10.02.

JUSTICE: That justice is the highest quality in the moral hierarchy I do not say, but that it is the first. That which is above justice must be based on justice, and include justice, and be reached through justice.” - Henry George, Social Problems, IX, 1884.

JUSTICE: That which is unjust can really profit no one; that which is just can really harm no one.” - Henry George, The Land Question, Ch. 14. – According to this, someone quite justly sentenced to death and executed does, thereby, suffers no harm! Nor would a long-term prison-sentence harm him in any way or those, who have to bear the costs of his imprisonment! – Furthermore, according to this statement monopoly profits and “profitable” crimes would not be possible! - JZ, 16.1.09, 21.9.13. – Doesn't the death penalty harm the murderer? Doesn't crime pay, sometimes, for some criminals? - JZ 27.4.83. - With a murderer only an irrational being is eliminated, rational beings are not harmed but benefit by his execution - unless they take into consideration the earnings and indemnification potential thus destroyed. And crime pays, usually or all too often, only in the short run and only in money and excitement. - JZ, 8.1.1986, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: The aim of justice is to give everyone his due.” - Cicero, De legibus, I, c. 50 B.C. - The system of justice that is due to everyone is that system which was his individual choice, unless he offended willfully or carelessly against the justice system of someone else. - JZ, 10.7.86, 28.10.02. - PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: the appropriately named “criminal justice system …” - L. Neil Smith, Lever Action, A Mountain Media Book, 2001, vin@lvrj.com, p.266. – Territorial justice is a criminal system. It cannot provide true justice to all and is continued nevertheless, just like other wrongful and legalized monopolies are, e.g. monetary and financial despotism, the decision-making monopoly on war and peace. – JZ, 11.5.13. – “CRIMES” WITHOUT VICTIMS

JUSTICE: The belief that men have a right to justice is implicit in the very spirit of libertarianism.” - R. A. Childs Jr., THE LIBERTARIAN CONNECTION, 10.7.72. – But they should not expect it from a “limited” but still territorial monopoly government, from which dissenting individuals and minorities cannot freely secede and with which they cannot freely compete under the personal law system of their own free choices. – JZ, 11.5.13. – LIMITED GOVERNMENT, TERRITORIALISM, LIBERTARIANISM, VOLUNTARISM, PERSONAL LAW, SECESSIONISM

JUSTICE: The Chinese sage, Mencius, is said to have declared: I desire life. I also desire Justice. But if I cannot have both, I shall have to let life go and take Justice.” - Carl Watner, On Justice, p.37, referring to the Works of Mencius, VI, I, 10.1. – How can he have justice after life? After suffering the greatest injustice, a wrongful execution? – Justice is worth risking one’s life but not certain death in a vain effort. - JZ, 16.1.09. – Maybe, he too, believed in a heavenly and eternal paradise for those unjustly killed? – JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: The conception of justice that underlies retributive and distributive justice is the same: distributions and punishments are considered just when each gets what he deserves, and unjust when this is not the case. In other words, JUSTICE CONSISTS OF METING OUT TO MEN WHAT THEY DESERVE. When they are punished because they are held to deserve evil and suffering, one speaks of retributive justice. When what is distributed is good, one speaks of distributive justice. I propose to criticize this kind of justice - retributive justice, in the remainder of this chapter, distributive justice in the next. The notion that distributive justice is better understood as fairness will also be taken up in the next chapter.” - Walter Kaufmann, Without Guilt and Justice, p.39.

JUSTICE: the crazy ziggurat of precedent and tradition that passes for "justice" dirtside.” - Heinlein, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, p.65.

JUSTICE: The crooked course of Favor, greatness, or the like, is not the proper channel of Justice; it is pure, and individual, equally and alike proper unto all, descending and running in that pure line streaming and issuing out unto all, though grievously corrupted, vitiated, and adulterated from generation to generation.” - Overton, 9.9.1648.

JUSTICE: the duty of love is trivial in comparison with the duty of justice.” - Father Franziskus Stratmann, War & Christian Conscience, in "Morals & Missiles", ed. by C. S. Thompson, p.30. - Now, that is what I would call a Christian Reformation statement! - JZ, 7.1.1986. - In that he is ahead of many Protestants. - JZ, 16.11.02.

JUSTICE: The error is to confuse justice with equality, either (in the first case) equality of opportunity, or (in the second case) equality of outcome.” - Margaret Thatcher, Statecraft, 2002, HarperCollins, www.fireandwater.com. – p.430/31. - EQUALITY

JUSTICE: The essence of justice is respect.” – Proudhon – I would respect the gun in the hand of a hold-up man, but not his sense of justice and property rights. – JZ, 16.1.09, 10.5.13. - RESPECT

JUSTICE: The extremity of justice is extreme injustice.” - Richard Grafton, Chronicle at Large, 1568. - A misleading formula. All principles can be exaggerated on a nominalist basis. Every truth relates to others. Every value is bounded by other values, every right limited by other rights. - JZ, 10.7.86. - What is here called "extremity of justice" is, probably, by itself, essentially an unjust act that should never be called and act of justice. - To judge this judgment or misjudgment one may have to proceed from such generalities to practical cases. - JZ, 27.10.02. – Shooting to death a boy stealing an apple is not an act of extreme justice. – JZ, 16.1.09.

JUSTICE: The first principle of justice, according to Rawls, is equal liberty.” – William Stoddard, REASON, 3/74.

JUSTICE: The free market renders justice. Justice is a social term; it relates to relationships one with another and is achieved when our relations with each other are fair. How is a just exchange to be determined? It is simply a matter of respecting subjective judgments. If you prefer what I have to offer more than what you stand ready to give in exchange, that is all there is to it: economic justice. This is willing exchange - both parties willing - a prime tenet of the free market way of life.” - Leonard E. Read, Then Truth Will Out, p.45. – FREE EXCHANGE, FREE PRICING, DEALINGS ON A FREE MARKET FOR EVERY SERVICE, EVEN THAT OF PROVIDING PROTECTION & JUSTICE

JUSTICE: The game they play is lawful because they make the law to uphold their game; but they raise a hue and cry for 'law and order' if they find any game conflicting with theirs, and declare it unlawful. It is easy to see that laws thus enacted are unjust, for to be just, a law must be enacted for the benefit of all; thus it is in no wise logical to presume that the "legal" is the just. - When we compare the laws made today and the method and purpose of their making, with those of the past, we find them to be in perfect harmony. It was the law and custom of the past to provide for a class of idlers, it was customary for the powerful to enslave the weak, for the rich to rob the poor, for the unscrupulous to make laws in their own interests, even as it is the law and custom today. Surely it must be evident that law does not have its basis in justice, but rather in custom. TO BOTH LAW AND CUSTOM, JUSTICE IS A TOTAL STRANGER.” - Sprading, Liberty and the Great Libertarains, p.18. - LAW & CUSTOM

JUSTICE: The government cannot even ensure the production of a decent pair of boots - and still some believe it should be entrusted with the production of as sensitive articles as justice, freedom, peace, prosperity, harmony, progress, education, enlightenment, transportation, mail services. - JZ, 4.2.73.

JUSTICE: The governmental jurisdiction delays justice and to that extent destroys justice. For this disservice and also for delayed unjust decisions, it charges all too high monopoly prices. - JZ, 5.4.99. - COURTS

JUSTICE: The governmental justice system is slow, very expensive and all too often unjust. Nevertheless, its monopoly power is largely enforced. To improve it, it should be subjected to free competition, which could come to provide fast, cheap and almost certain justice. - JZ, 27.10.02. - COURTS

JUSTICE: The GUILTY try for MERCY, the VICTIM asks for JUSTICE.” - Steve Ditko, Mr. A. – I have so far seen only fragments of this and other libertarian comics series.

JUSTICE: The need to differentiate between justice and envy.” - 6th Annual LP convention - on Earl Ravenal's speech. - SOCIAL JUSTICE, EQUALITY, ENVY, EGALITARIANISM, EQUALITY

JUSTICE: the only prerogative in society is liberty, the only supreme force, Law. Authority and charity, they say, have served their time. What we want instead is justice.” - Proudhon, in S. Edwards, in "The Question of Nationalities", p.59. – Minority autonomy and individual sovereignty and self-ownership require exterritorial secessionism combined with personal law choices for all kinds of societies, communities and governance systems, even one-person “cantons”. – JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: The price of justice is eternal publicity.” - Arnold Bennett, Things that have interested me. – Alas, under present conditions even full and digital publicity, world-wide, cannot as yet buy or otherwise assure justice, especially as long as it remains undefined in the absence of an ideal declaration of all individual rights and liberties and as long as such a declaration is not sufficiently protected by an ideal kind of militia of volunteers, established and maintained only for this purpose. Among these rights and liberties it would require individual and minority group secessionism and full monetary and financial freedom, at least for volunteers, free trade, at least among volunteers and free migration, i.e. the abolition of all territorial monopolies. – JZ, 11.5.13. - PUBLICITY

JUSTICE: The principle of every society is to be just towards oneself and others. If one ought to love one's neighbor as oneself, then it is at least as just to love oneself as one loves one's neighbor.” - Chamfort, in: Franzoesische Moralisten, p.268. - LOVE, SELF-LOVE & EGOISM

JUSTICE: the principle of Justice, which Proudhon never wavered insisting, is an idea and sentiment, a spiritual force animating the soul of man, immanent in his very nature. If it is not always the most energetic of our impulses, it is the most universal and the most constant.” - R. V. Sampson, The Discovery of Peace, p.86.

JUSTICE: The purpose of a trial is to discover truth, not to demonstrate the ability of counsel. The ‘adversary’ system, derived at bottom from the old Norman concept of trial by combat - May God grant the right) has proven itself as absurd in practice as it is contrived in theory.” - Jerry Pournelle, in ANALOG, 9/83, p.111. – However, even this system of justice is right for those volunteers, who have chosen it for themselves – within their own communities. – JZ, 6.1.09, COURTS, ADVERSARY SYSTEM, FREE CHOICE FOR JUSTICE SYSTEMS, TOO! PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, an almost fanatical love of justice and the desire for personal independence - these are the features of the Jewish tradition which make me thank my stars that I belong to it.” - Albert Einstein, The World As I See It. - At the end this famous scientist uses the terms of astrologers! - Jews were in the forefront of the communist movement as well as that of the anarchist and libertarian movement. But has their love of justice led them as yet e.g., to monetary freedom and free trade and to reject territorialism? Did it lead Einstein to reject or recommend nuclear weapons research? Do they not still represent as much the ideas of "social justice" as of "justice"? And have they managed to produce, between them, many better and private declarations of individual rights and liberties? Aren't all too many of them still captivated by the notions of an ancient religion? And misled by the “myth of the chosen people”? Are not all too many of them still religious and believe in a God and in holy books and holy places? Have they, more than e.g. Christians, Muslims and Hindus rejected the principle of "collective responsibility" and of "defence" with ABC mass murder devices? They, Scottish and Japanese people are, according to some reports, among the most intelligent people in the world and yet, between them, do they not still subscribe, like all too many other peoples, to numerous popular errors, myths and prejudices, e.g., in attempting to establish a territorial and democratic Welfare State and to achieve statist security for it? Have they, any more than their Arab opponents, considered their exterritorial autonomy options? (*) Even the love for certain people, and admiration for their achievements should not make us blind to their remaining flaws, for which Einstein was perhaps a typical example. - JZ, 28.10.02. – (*) Both continue to largely ignore the Arab and Jewish traditions of personal law communities, at least partly and temporarily realized by them. Their “modern” thinking is swamped by territorialist notions and those of collective responsibility, which lead us, ultimately, to a general nuclear holocaust. – JZ, 11.5.13. - JEWS, KNOWLEDGE, LEARNING, INDEPENDENCE

JUSTICE: The rendering to everyone his due or right; just treatment.” - Sprading, quoting it as an accepted definition.

JUSTICE: The root of all well-ordered social action is a sentiment of justice, which at once insists on personal freedom, and is solicitous for the like freedom of others; and there at present exists but a very inadequate amount of this sentiment.” - Herbert Spencer, Essays, From Freedom to Bondage.

JUSTICE: The science of justice is as open to be learned by all other men as by themselves; and it is, in general, so simple and easy to be learned, that there is no need of, and no place for, any man, or body of men, to teach it, declare it, or command it, on their own authority.” – Lysander Spooner, A Letter to Grover Cleveland, p.5.

JUSTICE: The science of mine and thine - the science of justice - is the science of all human rights: of all a man's rights of person and property; of all his rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” - Spooner, Natural Law, p.1. - PROPERTY & ALL HUMAN RIGHTS

JUSTICE: The Socialist invokes the name of justice in order to coerce all to conform to the will of the government of the time being in all matters of production, distribution and exchange. He does so not only on the plea of a juster distribution of the rewards of toil in these directions, but on the ground of greater social efficiency. The Individualist holds that both these claims are contrary to the teaching of experience and of nature. Governments have not in fact so arranged the distribution of wealth; and in fact greater justice resides in the contention of the Individualist that the development of justice has been governed by the principle that the earnings of each individual shall be securedly preserved to him, and its chief aims have been to prevent individuals from plundering each other, and safeguarding for each what each has earned.” - S. Hutchinson Harris, The Doctrine of Personal Right, p.380/381. - COMMUNISM, STATE SOCIALISM AS OPPOSED TO VOLUNTARY OR COOPERATIVE SOCIALISM, INDIVIDUALISM, TAXATION, CONFISCTION, NATIONALIZATION, PROPERTY RIGHTS

JUSTICE: The sword of the law should never fall but on those whose guilt is so apparent as to be pronounced by their friends as well as foes.” - Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Sarah Mease, March 1801. - In other words: Law should prosecute only by unanimous consent.

JUSTICE: the system of the laws of justice is the same as the system of the laws of the world, and they are present in the human soul not only as ideas or concepts but as emotions or feelings.” - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Selected Writings, N.Y., 1969, p.230.

JUSTICE: The voice of the majority is no proof of justice. – Johann von Schiller. in www.strike-the-root.com  – Friedrich von Schiller? – JZ – However, with the free jury system and its unanimous or majority voting we do, perhaps, come as close to just decisions as fallible human beings are able to come. – Their power to make wrongful decisions will be limited e.g. by individual secessionism, free competition between personal law communities of volunteers, an as complete and clear declaration of individual rights and liberties as could and should be provided by now and by suitable militias of volunteers for the protection of these rights and liberties as their only task, once they are fully informed and trained for this job. – JZ, 14.1.13. - MAJORITIES

JUSTICE: The work of justice shall be peace.” - Isaiah, in the Bible. – There is not enough talk about freedom, rights and intelligence in the Bible. Even now most Christians are still rather confused about such subjects. Not to speak of other religions, may be 35,000 of them, as a recent email to me asserted. – Really holy books, if conceivable and writable, would be much more clear and informative on such an important subject, instead of preaching even collective responsibility or merely love, faith, mercy and forgiveness, even for the enemies! - JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – PEACE, FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, INTELLIGENCE, REASON, LOVE

JUSTICE: There are only two ways in which each of us can improve our lot: at our own expense; or at the expense of others. The first method constitutes justice; the second injustice.” – G. C. Roche III, Frederic Bastiat, A Man Alone, p.203.

JUSTICE: There is a point beyond which even justice becomes unjust.” - Sophocles, Electra, ca. 450 B.C. - I would rather say: A point where it ends and its authority is exceeded, or where it only succeeds in introducing an additional kind of injustice. - JZ, 10.7.86. - There is no right to infringe the rights and liberties of others. Justice does not authorize injustices. There is no inherent contradiction. - JZ, 27.10.02.

JUSTICE: There is no justice!” - Indeed, we have to establish it first! The same applies to freedom and peace, security, enlightenment and progress, to a large extent. - JZ, 6.4.91, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: There is no longer any justice in judgments, competence in trades, discipline in daily life. …” - Saint Cyprian, quoted in: L. S. Stavrianos, The Promise of the Coming Dark Age, 1976, p.12.

JUSTICE: There is no other principle that any man can rightly enforce upon others, or ought to consent to have enforced against himself. Every man claims the protection of this principle for himself, whether he is willing to accord it to others or not ...” – Lysander Spooner, A Letter to Grover Cleveland, p.6.

JUSTICE: There is no real force without justice.” - Napoleon I, Maxims, 1804-15. - Force with justice is stronger than force with injustice. Injustice subtracts from force. Justice adds to force. The use of force without justice is wrong. The use of force to enforce justice is right. - JZ, 27.10.02. – FORCE, RIGHT, WRONG, INJUSTICE, AGGRESSION, OPPRESSION, TERRITORIALISM

JUSTICE: There never will be a decent political sense developed in this country until we breed a race of people who are as ready to go to the mat for justice in behalf of what they do not believe in as in behalf of what they do believe in. That is the spirit that utterly terrifies politicians and job holders and makes them walk a chalk line.” - A. J. Nock. – What did he mean by “makes them walk a chalk line”? – Simply going straight? – JZ, 11.5.13. – Are they going straight? I is this “spirit” strongly displayed? – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: There was no cry for freedom in 1642, only justice. Justice is the cry for obeyance of old laws. Liberty is the cry of revolution. Revolution may make new laws ... or none at all.” - Libertarian Handbook, 1973, p.27. – Obedience to …? Respect for? – JZ

JUSTICE: These plain men are the men who pay the taxes, and support the government. Why should they not have such an administration of justice as they desire, and can understand?” - Lysander Spooner, Trial by Jury, Works, Vol. I, p.134. – PERSONAL LAW SOCIETIES, CHOOSEN BY VOLUNTEERS FOR THEMSELVES, EXTERRITORIAL AUTONOMY & SECESSIONISM VS. TERRITORIALISM, VOLUNTARISM VS. COMPULSION

JUSTICE: They call it the Halls of Justice because the only place you get justice is in the halls.” - Lenny Bruce. – JOKES, COURTS, GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION, PLEA BARGAINING

JUSTICE: They want to be free and know not how to be just.” – (Ils veulent etre libres et ne savent pas etre justes.) - (Sie wollen frei sein, und sie verstehen nicht gerecht zu sein.) - Abbé Joseph Sieyès, in the Constituent Assembly, 10 Aug., 1789. – Another version: “They want to be free but do not know how to be just.” – (Sie wollen frei sein und verstehen nicht, gerecht zu sein.) - Abbé Sieyès, in Nationalversammlung, 1793. - FREEDOM

JUSTICE: This is what we stand for: "Truth, Justice and the value of a single human being." - From film: Justice at Nuremberg. - TRUTH, INDIVIDUALS

JUSTICE: This way of doing things makes a cultural group work; it maintains orderly relationships.” - John Campbell, ANALOG, Dec. 66. – NAZIS and Soviets were also very orderly people. They legalized almost all their wrongs. Except those which they managed to hide, for all too long, even from all too many of their victims. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – E.g. extermination camps with large signs above their entry: Labor Makes Free! (Arbeit macht frei!)

JUSTICE: To do justice to; to treat with fairness or according to merit; to render what is due ...” - Quoted by Sprading as accepted definition.

JUSTICE: To each his own.” – (Suum cuique. - Ancient Roman definition of justice.)

JUSTICE: To have a "Department of Justice", i.e. justice bureaucratically administered, was one of the greatest absurdities anyone could have dreamed up. - JZ, 18.8.80. – It is as absurd as having an Education Department, or one for religion and one for philosophy. Education and Enlightenment cannot be achieved bureaucratically, either. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. – BUREAUCRACY, JUSTICE, EDUCATION, ENLIGHTENMENT

JUSTICE: To heal the breach between the rich and the poor, it is necessary to distinguish between justice and charity. There can be no claim for redress except where justice is violated.” - Pope Pius X: Apostolic Letter to the Bishops of Italy on Catholic Social Action, Dec. 18, 1903. - CHARITY, RICH, POOR

JUSTICE: To no one will we deny justice, to no one will we delay it.” - (Nulli negabimus, nulli differemus justitiam.) - Unknown, here from Magna Carta, 12 June, 1215.

JUSTICE: To say that men have a right to justice does not mean that they should be required to pay a tax to a government or a fee to an insurance company for the privilege of not being aggressed against. Man has a right to justice - at the expense of the aggressor, if he exists.” - R. A. Childs Jr., THE LIBERTARIAN CONNECTION, 10.7.72. – If an aggression took place, than one or several aggressors must have existed at least at that point of time. There is a case for holding not only the surviving and convicted aggressors responsible for the indemnificications for all crimes of the same kind but all others convicted for the same kind of crime. Then it would be in their interest to see to it that more of those, who were not yet convicted, become also convicted to help in this repayment obligation. All convicted robbers should then indemnify all the robbery victims, all the rapists all the rape victims etc. – At least I would work towards such a system in my own panarchy. - JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: To strive towards right in an injust way is doing wrong.” – (Recht tun auf ungerechte Art ist Unrecht.) - L. Schefer, Laienbrevier, Februar 28. - Compare: The end does not justify the means. - NUCLEAR STRENGTH, NUCLEAR DETERRENT, NUCLEAR DEFENCE, NUCLEAR WEAPONS TARGETS & COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY

JUSTICE: Today it is rarely understood that the limitation of all coercion to the enforcement of general rules of just conduct was the fundamental principle of classical liberalism, or, I would almost say, its definition of liberty. This is largely a consequence of the fact that the substantive (or 'material') conception of law (as distinguished from a purely formal one) which underlies it, and which alone gives a clear meaning ...” – F. A. Hayek, Economic Freedom and Representative Government, II. – General rules do not fit all cases. Truths are agreements of statements with realities. There are millions of diverse realities and billions of human beings, all of them different. – JZ, 21.9.13. - CONDUCT, COERCION, LAW & CLASSICAL LIBERALISM

JUSTICE: True law is right reason conformable to nature, universal, unchangeable, eternal, whose commands urge us to duty, and whose prohibitions restrain us from evil ... This law cannot be contradicted by any other law, and is not liable either to derogation or abrogation. Neither the senate nor the people can give us any dispensation for not obeying this universal law of justice. It needs no other expositor and interpreter than our own conscience. It is not one thing at Rome, and another at Athens; one thing today, and another to-morrow; but in all times and nations this universal law must forever reign, eternal and imperishable.” - Cicero, De re publica, On the Commonwealth, translated in "Bohn's Classical Library, London, Bell and Daldy, 1872, p.360. - As if the demands of consciences did not differ in different people! Those with the same conscience and justice notions should associate to do their own things for and to themselves - and leave others, with different notions and practices alone. - JZ, 16.11.02. - TOLERANCE, PANARCHISM, PERSONAL LAW, CONSCIENCE, MORAL SENSE

JUSTICE: Truth is justice's handmaid, freedom is its child, peace is its companion, safety walks in its steps, victory follows in its train.” - Ascribed to Sydney Smith in: A Memoir of the Rev. Sydney Smith, by his daughter, Lady Holland, (Lady Holland's Memoir), 1855. - TRUTH, FREEDOM, PEACE, SECURITY, VICTORY, STRENGTH

JUSTICE: Truth is the summit of being; justice is the application of it to affairs.” - Emerson, Essays, Second Series: Character.

JUSTICE: Tyranny, not liberty, has been the custom in the past; and so Libertarians reject custom as a guiding principle, just as they reject power or might. They know that JUSTICE IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS, OR IS, BUT THAT IS TO BE. Pascal saw the absurdity of law and justice that have their source in custom, for he says: "In the just and unjust we find hardly anything which does not change its character in changing its climate. Three degrees of elevation of the pole reverse the whole of jurisprudence. A meridian is decisive of truth, or a few years of possession. Fundamentals always change! Right has its epochs! A pleasant justice that, which a river or a mountain limits! Truth on this side the Pyrenees, error on the other!" - Sprading, Liberty and the Great Libertarians, p.17. – CUSTOMS, TRADITIONS, LAWS, POWER, TERRITORIALISM

JUSTICE: Unable to strengthen justice, they have justified might. ...” - Pascal. – MIGHT, POWER, STRENGTH, COMPULSION, COERCION, TERRITORIALISM

JUSTICE: Unequal and prejudiced treatment of different classes: "How could a government be just when it treats one class of people, those in religion and publishing, as free to govern themselves - to follow or not to follow its own professional standards - but other classes, such as doctors, business people and financial advisors as in need of extensive supervision and regimentation?” - Tibor Machan, Liberty and Culture, p.104. - Those publishing on radio and TV are also under government regimentation. - And all of us are - as victims of territorial governments, continuously being outvoted or bureaucratically or politically ignored, or commanded, contrary to our personal preferences in numerous ways. Full consumer sovereignty towards all political and bureaucratic "services" and disservices, which would also mean voluntary taxation. That would rapidly reduce unjust and extensive governmentalism - and retain only some really wanted features - for voluntary victims. - JZ, 27.10.02. - GOVERNMENT, CLASSES, PRIVILEGES, FREEDOM FOR RELIGIOUS SERVICES BUT NOT FOR OTHERS, PANARCHISM, VOLUNTARISM, PERSONAL LAW, EXTERRITORIAL AUTONOMY & EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM, FULL FREEDOM OF CONTRACT & ASSOCIATION FOR ALL, WHICH REQUIRES ALSO INDIVIDUAL & GROUP SECESSIONISM

JUSTICE: Unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.” - Woodrow Wilson. - Even the provision of justice is or ought to be a free exchange agreement, one between the victims rather than the victimizers - JZ, 28.10.02, 11.5.13. - MUTUALITY

JUSTICE: We can define justice as respect for free choice.” - Ridgway K. Foley Jr., THE FREEMAN, 5/74. – FREE CHOICE, RESPECT

JUSTICE: we live under the permanent paradox that Justice, whose essence is equality and the very negation of power, is conceived as something which emanates from power.” - R. V. Sampson, The Discovery of Peace, p.100, on Proudhon. – Warfare states are territorial States. – JZ, 11.5.13. -  POWER, WAR, PEACE, TERRITORIALISM

JUSTICE: We make our own justice. … let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.” - Frank Herbert, Dune, Complete & unabridged edition, p.87. - SELF-HELP, COURTS, JURIES, ARBITRATION COURTS

JUSTICE: We must be just to another or die. - JZ, after reading: " ... we must love one another or die", in: Edmund Cooper: Tomorrow Came, p. 34. – How many people can we really love? – JZ, 7.1.09. - NUCLEAR WAR THREAT, Q.

JUSTICE: We need not fear, then, that a concern for justice will lead us away from freedom and the free market. Freedom and justice stand together, jointly opposed to collectivism.” - David Kelley, THE FREEMAN, 1/75. - FREEDOM VS. COLLECTIVISM

JUSTICE: We object to the nationalization of the business of justice by the State.” - Sam Konkin III, Strategy of the NLA, # 1, p.28. , JURISDICTION, COURTS, MONOPOLY, NATIONALIZATION, STATE, PANARCHISM

JUSTICE: We prefer blame to justice.” - The Cynic's Book of Wisdom, quoted in: S. Andrew Swann, Revolutionary, Hostile Takeover # 3, p.120. - Some, or all too many may do so. Should we? - JZ, 21.4.00. - PERSONAL RATHER THAN CAUSAL THINKING, SCAPEGOATS, CULPRITS, BLAMING OTHER PERSONS, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, DIS.

JUSTICE: What does the Department of Justice, as the department of a territorial State, have to do with justice? - JZ, 6.7.92, 16.1.09. - GOVERNMENT, JUSTICE ADMINISTRATION, BUREAUCRACY & JUSTICE, TERRITORIALISM, JURIDICAL MONOPOLY

JUSTICE: What he called 'the evil excesses of force' had become so 'ingrained in our ways and in our laws' that justice no longer seemed possible. Either men must be free, or society must be unjust.” – G. C. Roche, Frederic Bastiat, A Man Alone, p.58.

JUSTICE: What is justice? To give ever man his due.” - Aristotle.

JUSTICE: What is mankind? What is justice? I say it is liberty and peace.” - Father Peter Levi, Christmas Sermon, from Death is a Pulpit. – Since liberty and peace do not yet exist as a general condition on Earth then, according to this statement, not only justice does not exist, so far, but even mankind does not yet exist. So, why worry, if we believe this “Father”? – Was “Death is a Pulpit” one of his books? Some books condemn themselves already by their title. He can have meant only the death of his own mind, resulting from too faith in flawed doctrines and too much preaching of them – and the death of the minds of those, who bothered to listen to him. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13. - LIBERTY & PEACE, PREACHERS, PRIESTS, DOCTRINAIRES, RELIGIONS, FAITH, BELIEF

JUSTICE: What kind of justice can we expect from territorial government constitutions, laws, regulations, courts, monopoly police forces and their lawyers and judges? - JZ, 21.9.93, 27.10.02.

JUSTICE: What sort of protection is this of the general right that is maintained by infringing the rights of particulars? What sort of justice is this, which is enforced by breaches of its own laws? These paradoxes I leave to be solved by the able heads of legislators and politicians. For my part, I say what a plain man would say on such occasion.” - Edmund Burke, quoted in Sprading, Liberty and the Great Libertarians, pp. 64/65. - Able heads of legislators and politicians? How many are there? - JZ, 16.11.02.

JUSTICE: What we call civil society consists of numerous, diverse, varying individuals, each a world to himself, and living contemporaneously. Each can reach his potential best only as justice prevails in personal relations, that is, in the absence of injustice. Understood in this manner, justice is indeed the end of civil society.” - Leonard E. Read, Who's Listening? p.94.

JUSTICE: What, indeed, is Justice other than an equal balance of forces? Justice is not merely a relationship, an abstract idea, a fictitious creation of the intelligence or an act of faith on the part of conscience. It is something real and all the more imperative because based on those freely moving forces that we know to be realities.” - Proudhon, What Is Property? p.144.

JUSTICE: What’s "just" has been debated for centuries but let me offer you my definition of social justice: I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then tell me how much of what I earn "belongs" to you – and why?” – Walter Williams, All It Takes Is Guts, p.62.  - PROPERTY, SOCIAL JUSTICE, DIS., Q., DISTRIBUTIONISM & EGALITARIANISM, WAGES, EARNINGS

JUSTICE: When Proudhon wrote that "social order is established upon the basis of inexorable justice, and not at all upon the paradisiacal sentiments of fraternity, self-sacrifice, and love, to the exercise of which so many honorable socialists are endeavoring now to stimulate the people", he recognized, as Marx did, that it is the technological forces unleashed within the industrial order that basically determine the level of wages of the workers and the profits of the capitalists and not beautiful words preached at people by moralists.” - W. O. Reichert, in: Holterman, Law in Anarchism, p.145. – Typically, the economic rights, liberties and forces and their role in determining wages and profits are not yet recognized here. – JZ, 16.1.09. - SOCIAL ORDER, SOCIAL JUSTICE, FRATERNITY, SELF-SACRIFICE, LOVE

JUSTICE: When the fox administers justice, the chickens will always be found guilty.” – Cat Farmer - JUDGES, COURTS, MINISTERS OF JUSTICE, LEGISLATORS, PARLIAMENTS, CONGRESS, POLITICIANS, REPRESENTATIVES, GOVERNMENT COURTS & JUDGES

JUSTICE: When we have but the will to do it, that very moment will justice be done: that very instant the tyrants of the earth shall bite the dust.” - Peter Kropotkin, An Appeal to the Young, 1880. - A bit of wishful thinking is involved here. All the wishful thinking of all the libertarians, and all their present actions in favor of their ideals, do no automatically and immediately abolish all wrongful restrictions in this world. However, if they bothered to mobilize all their ideas and references, put and kept them in print (or on powerful, and affordable other media – JZ, 21.9.13), supplemented them as is advisable, made every positive idea, talent and resource known and available for their freedom struggle, then they could win fast. Compare how they ignored so far, e.g., their microfiche, floppy disk and CD-publishing and reading options, how they still haven't developed and spread a consistent and comprehensive libertarian revolution, liberation and defence program, how they still have neglected to work systematically towards a comprehensive enough declaration of basic rights and liberties - and towards many other tools and machines required if their struggle is to be successful soon. - JZ, 16.11.02. – See: NEW DRAFT to speed up the process of enlightenment, my digital 2010 manuscript, still not online, although not copyrighted. I offer it free as an email attachment (Only 306 KBs, zipped) upon request, until it appears online or on a disc – through someone. I might get around to do this myself but that might take me still further years, if I live that long. – JZ, 22.5.13.

JUSTICE: When will mankind learn - and compel their governments to conform to the knowledge - that justice is better policy than any scheme of robbery, that was ever devised?” - Lysander Spooner, quoted in Reichert, Partisans of Freedom, p.121. – Only individuals do and can learn something. Mankind, as a whole, is not an entity that can learn anything. – JZ, 17.1.09. – TAXATION, MANKIND, LEARNING, ENLIGHTENMENT, PUBLIC OPINION

JUSTICE: When you reflect on it, the only thing that allowed the human race to stop living as animals and to start living as human beings was by adopting a set of rules - a system of justice. Maintaining a system of justice in an orderly society is essential to whatever else people accomplish.” - Frank W. Wilson, U.S. District Judge, commenting on his sentencing of James R. Hoffa, head of the Teamsters' Union, 12 March, 1964, in Chattanooga, Tenn.

JUSTICE: Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.” - Edmund Burke, in: George Seldes, The Great Quotations, p.536, quoted also by L. E. Read in The Love of Liberty, p.94. - LIBERTY

JUSTICE: Where justice reigns, 'tis freedom to obey.” - James Montgomery, Greenland IV. - Where does justice reign? - JZ, 16.11.02. - FREEDOM & OBEDIENCE, Q.

JUSTICE: Where there is justice there will be peace.” - Indian Chief, saying in a Western. (The Sioux Uprising of 1863?)

JUSTICE: Where there is no justice there is no freedom and where there is no freedom there is no justice. The concepts are identical.” – (Wo keine Gerechtigkeit ist, ist keine Freiheit, und wo keine Freiheit ist, ist keine Gerechtigkeit.) - Seume, Spaziergang nach Syrakus. - Also in: Mein Leben (My Life), II/33.FREEDOM

JUSTICE: Whether they live in isolation or in society, men are, above all, interested in preserving their existence and the fruits of their labor. If the sense of justice were universally prevalent on earth; if, consequently, each man confined himself to laboring and exchanging the fruits of his labor, without wishing to endanger the life [of others? – JZ] or take away, by violence or by fraud, the fruits of other men's labor; if everyone had, in one word, an instinctive horror of any act harmful to another person, it is certain that security would exist NATURALLY on earth, and that no artificial institution would be necessary to establish it. Unfortunately, this is not the way things are. The sense of justice seems to be the perquisite of only a few eminent and exceptional temperaments. Among the inferior races it exists in only a rudimentary state. Hence the innumerable criminal attempts, ever since the beginning of the world, since the days of Cain and Abel, against the lives and property of individuals. - Hence also the creation of establishments whose object is to guarantee to everyone the peaceful possession of his person and his goods.” - G. Molinari, The Production of Security, p.2. (Online at the Molinari Institute.)

JUSTICE: Whoever cannot achieve justice should at least attempt peaceful coexistence.” – (Wer die Gerechtigkeit nicht schafft, der probiere es mal mit der Vertraeglichkeit.) - Ernst R. Hauschka. - Contracts? Reconciliation? - I would rather recommend tolerance and independence instead, of the panarchistic type. Then it becomes relatively easy to ignore opponents. - JZ, 15.1.93, 27.10.02. - TOLERANCE, RECONCILIATION, PANARCHISM, VOLUNTARISM, EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM, FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION & CONTRACT FOR ALL, IN ALL SPHERES, BUT ALWAYS WITHOUT A TERRITORIAL MONOPOLY: PANARCHISM OR: TO EACH THE GOVERNMENT OR NON-GOVERNMENTAL SOCIETY OF HIS OR HER CHOICE. WHO COULD RIGHTLY ASK FOR MORE OR COULD RIGHTLY ASK FOR LESS? – JZ, 11.5.13.

JUSTICE: Whoever spares the bad hurts the good.” – (Wer die Schlechten schont, verletzt die Guten.) - Syrus. - CRIME, PUNISHMENT, MERCY, LENITY

JUSTICE: Why should there not be patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world?” - Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, 4.3.1861. - I would rather have justice realized gradually, step-by-step, within volunteer communities only, than wait until finally, in further decades or centuries, all or most of the people are sufficiently enlightened. Justice, peace, security, progress, prosperity and many other aspects of living are much too important to leave them to majority decisions. Allow individuals and minorities to advance as far and as fast as they want to and can. Set all real people free rather than the imagined “uniform” people of the territorial State model. – JZ, 3.4.99. - THE PEOPLE, VOLUNTARISM, EXPERIMENTAL FREEDOM, PERSONAL LAWS, PANARCHISM, MAJORITARIANISM OR FULL PERSONAL LAW FOR MAJORITIES AS WELL AS MINORITIES? VOLUNTARISM & EXTERRITORIAL AUTONOMY VS. TERRITORIALISM, WITH ITS COERCION, MONOPOLISM, COLLECTIVISM

JUSTICE: Why will they never understand that fraternity can only be established by justice; that justice alone, the condition, means, and law of liberty and fraternity, must be the object of our study …” - Proudhon, System of Economic Contradictions, in: The Works of J. Proudhon, Tucker, Boston, 1888, p.281. - FRATERNITY & LIBERTY

JUSTICE: With justice all problems are soluble. Without it, none are.” - Harry Schultz. - There are not only problems between humans but, e.g., scientific problems. Can we conquer time and space and longevity merely with "justice"? - JZ, 16.11.02.

JUSTICE: Within the limits of equity, everything is to be accomplished through the free and perfectible initiative of man; nothing is to be achieved by law or by force save universal justice.” - Source? - And even that can be achieved only without government aid and monopolies. - JZ, 12.7.92. - LIMITED GOVERNMENT, EQUITY, INITIATIVE, LAW, FORCE, TERRITORIALISM, STATISM

JUSTICE: Without justice, courage is weak.” - Benjamin Franklin, in: Poor Richard, 1734. – A right is accompanied with the authority to enforce it, according to Kant. Territorial authorities have neither fully defined what genuine individual rights and liberties really are nor, if they had, would they be the best authorities to protect them. Ideal militias (alas, still not-existing) i.e. enlightened volunteers, suitably trained, armed and organized and committed only to upholding genuine individual rights and liberties, would, probably, be the best enforcement agencies. However, so far not even an ideal declaration of these rights seems to have been compiled or recognized and published as such. In this respect we are living still in a Dark Age. – So far most people are unarmed and without sufficient knowledge of, interest in and respect for genuine individual rights and liberties. The results are corresponding to this situation. – There are still all too many primitives, savages and barbarians. “Nuclear giants and ethical infants!” (Remark by General Omar Bradley, shortly after WWII.) - JZ, 16.1.09. – COURAGE, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS & LIBERTIES, UPHELD BY AN IDEAL MILITIA

JUSTICE: Without sympathy justice becomes cruelty. Without justice sympathy becomes weakness.” - Metastasio. (Ohne Mitgefuehl wird Rechtsprechung zu Grausamkeit. Ohne Rechtsprechung wird Sympathie zu Schwaeche.) - SYMPATHY, CRUELTY, COMPASSION, MERCY

JUSTICE: Wrong must not win by technicalities.” - Aeschylus, The Eumenides, 458 B.C., tr. Richmond Lattimore. - Even that injustice has not yet been overcome, in almost 2500 years! So slow are the mills of justice run by governments. - JZ, 27.10.02. - TECHNICALITIES

JUSTICE: You can live without kindness; you can't live without justice.” - Edward Bond, Summer, a play. – However, if we immediately died whenever we experienced injustice, how many would still be alive? – He should have said: We cannot live freely, peacefully and securely and prosper as much as we could and should, by our own efforts, unless we live in justice or, in other words, are free to practise all our genuine individual rights and liberties. – JZ, 16.1.09, 11.5.13, 21.9.13. - KINDNESS

JUSTICE: You can't expect justice from people who tax you. - JZ 27.11.74. - And who lead you into wars. - JZ, 16.11.02. And who lie to you, almost continuously. – JZ, 21.9.13.

JUSTICE: You do not have to like a fellow in order to do him justice. - JZ 2.4.83.

JUSTICE: You don't owe your neighbor love or respect - but you do owe him justice. - JZ, 73.

JUSTICE: You have sacrificed justice to mercy.” - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, p.936. - Don't sacrifice justice to mercy. – JZ - MERCY

JUSTICE: You mean that justice is not known like a dog, who barks in the night? That it is more like the unexpected sound in the woods that must be identified cautiously after hard thinking?” - Wilson/Shea, Illuminatus I, p.154.

JUSTICE: You need not always be generous, but you must always be just.” – (Wolle nicht immer grossmuetig sein, aber gerecht sei immer.) - M. Claudius, an seinen Sohn Johannes. - CHARITY, MERCY & GENEROSITY

JUSTICES: Most "justices" should be realistically renamed "injustices". - JZ, 20.3.95. - They do selectively apply "the law", or, rather, some of millions of them, in preference to natural justice. - JZ, 27.10.02. – JUDGES

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: Is it surprising, then, that juvenile victims of this irrational despotism turn, rebelliously, to mischief and crime to relieve their boredom or perhaps to supplement the unearned incomes from their subsidized families? More freedom for the young to be useful, and more freedom for parents, employers and teachers to apply non-retaliatory sanctions, as well as to provide more productive outlets for youthful energies would be a more effective way to raise the moral level of juvenile conduct.” - V. Orval Watts, THE FREEMAN, 8/75, p.482. - How high is the moral level of teachers, parents, politicians, bureaucrats, writers, public speakers etc. and other citizens? - JZ, 27.10.02. & COMPULSORY SCHOOLING

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: Juvenile misbehavior is largely the result of wasting the time of those who ought to be at work.” - Prof. C. Northcote Parkinson, The Law and the Profits. - COMPULSORY EDUCATION, SCHOOLS

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.” - Quentin Crisp. - YOUNG, REBELS & NONCONFORMISTS, CRIME
