Have you ever glanced at what the press was like in the early Republic?
People who think the courts should make things right in civil matters where monetary damages are not involved are abusing the courts and legal system. They are abusing their fellow citizens with it too.

You are aware that was 250 or more years ago, right? Things change.
People who think the courts should make things right in civil matters where monetary damages are not involved are abusing the courts and legal system. They are abusing their fellow citizens with it too.

If folks want their pound of flesh maybe folks should grow thicker hides and pound sand instead?
Should the same be true in the criminal world too? If I rob a bank and get caught then as long as I return everything I took then I should be free to walk? Or should there be a pound of flesh involved to discourage me from trying it again?
