fandomhigh | Advanced Criminal Justice, Final, Period 1, 05.02.06

For taking the test.

1. 1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

The police would be the front wheel, because you can't even get to the courts and prisons without them. They're the driving force, and the rest is just support.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

Aeryn stares at the paper for a good five minutes.

I can't in good conscience do this one.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Sometimes exceptions have to be made, but the important thing is to not disrespect the process if you want Justice to keep working.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

If I couldn't find another way to bring someone in- not likely- I would stab them with a fork. Just in the hand maybe.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

Yes, but again, sometimes exceptions have to be made. Even if the methods aren't the best, people usually get what they deserve.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

I would find out which one is ~~my b~~ John and tell him I'm not putting up with this behavior.

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

Without resorting to vigilantism, it's best to just keep an eye on the person in case it happens again. Of course sometimes you have to do what you have to do, even if it means taking matters into your own hands. It really all depends on what the crime was.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.
Clearly a trick question. The front wheel does not power the tricycle of justice, it's the kid in the seat of the tricycle. Who is the kid? Why society of course. They empower the front wheel of law enforcement with their pedaling feet and lean back on the wheels of Courts and the ~~*giggle*~~ penal system to move things along.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

To face villains which are drawn from the weeds of evil and attack victims who are lying there like a someone broken, one must be brave like soldiers.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?
Jaye will do anything for Boykissy.
Though some might call it sissy
Her lust for it will never be satisfiedinated.
Thus her whole life will be brokinated.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

~~I once tamed unchecked aggression by killing the President of Paraguay with a fork. He had it coming.~~

One does not need a utensil to dispense justice. One can use a pen to ~~stab an attacker in the neck~~ write a disagreeable letter to the editor, or your congressman.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.
One: A teacher catches you doing something bad and you get detention.
Two: Your name is randomly pulled from a hat and thrown in detention.
~~Three:You come up with a plot of mistaken identity and get thrown in jail~~
~~Four: You're a female vampire and you let yourself get caught so you can poison your son/lover~~

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:
A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?
~~Shoot them in the head~~
~~Shoot them in the kneecaps~~
~~Stab them with a fork~~
~~Stab them with a pen~~
~~Whine~~
'Sic the tabloids on him or her.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

Actually I think justice involves more than three wheels. An essential component of justice is the criminal themselves. If he or she or it shows no desire to atone for their crimes, Justice is ultimately meaningless. It provides comfort to society but evil will always prevail.

So I propose that Justice is a car. Or something else with four wheels. Maybe a regular bike with training wheels on it. But not a pink one because that would be silly.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

Justice inspires us to be brave like soldiers, even if inside we are like someone broken. It is not free like water, but is drawn from the weeds of evil and corruption. It will then take evil and corruption, stand in the wind of righteousness, under the warmth of the sun of goodness, and grasp them until they have both been shaken until they end up falling down under the pale moonlight. Which means evil and corruption will be shaken for quite some time if we start out under the warmth of the sun, but if you keep your eye on weather reports you could probably start out closer to sunset and save yourself some carpal tunnel.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Justice can be found in places you don't expect. Like bikes, hats, and sunglasses. Justice is apparently a Toys R Us.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

No idea why but I have the oddest feeling I'd aim for the forehead (http://www.screencap-paradise.com/caps/thumbnails.php?album=249&page=6).

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

I think a form of Justice works in Fandom, in that those who are good try to fight against the forces of evil. They may not always win, and they may not be made up of the people we'd like them to be, but they're there.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

Don't need a paragraph. Two words: Web Site.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

The police and courts provide the back wheels, the place where citizens and lawyers can stand. The front wheel is the prison, because without it, the entire bicycle would careen out of control, since that's where the pedals that keep things moving are. But we can't forget that the media is riding in they bicycle basket, taking pictures of us screwing up and ringing its little bell, that the public is jumping on the back and completely back-seat driving, but that we have the power to take our feet off the pedals and put the brakes on at any moment and become superheroes.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

- drawn from the weeds
- brave like soldiers
- falling down under the pale moonlight
- like a someone broken
- stand in the wind
- free like water
- warmth of the sun
- both been shaken

Using five or more will gain extra credit.

Justice should be free like water, providing the warmth of the sun to all who need it, but more often than not, we have to stand in the wind in order to protect those who are drawn from the weeds of Despair and Crime. Victims and criminals have both been shaken by the consequences of their actions, and because of this, we have to be brave like soldiers when trying to bring Justice to those who fall down under the pale moonlight.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Extra credit will be given to those who write their answer in the style of Dr. Seuss.

Justice is not for just Us
It is for the most-est of the mostest!
Karma can be cruel
if you are a fool
But not if you follow the Rule:
Crime is not cool
So stay in school!

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I'd probably use tongs to separate out the bad cucumbers from the good lettuce, without risking some kind of Criminal Vegetable infection or smooshing the cucumbers by rough handling. Tongs can also be used in situations too hot for bare hands; a little distance and detachment allows us to rescue overcooked wings, or the hot dogs that have fallen onto the barbeque coals. They are also frightening when snapped in the faces of people who would steal the last potato chip.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

Define 'work'... Actually, I'd say yes, it works. Aside from my Karma theory, there are police (although they are bullies), a place to appeal the wrongs (although I've heard the new mayor is a muppet for Tex), a prison (which I have visited, and I can say that I don't want to be locked up there), media (YAY FANDOM RADIO) keeping an eye on everything, and citizens who take personal responsibility in order to save their fellow Islanders (yay, zombies and snowmonster weekend and Study Group!). We also have superheroes who are willing to step up and help anyone who needs it. Does Justice always work perfectly? No. Sometimes criminals and those of ill intent escape. But just having a system in place means that there is order, and with that order, a place to stand to right wrongs and attempt to make things better. That the system needs tweaking is inevitable in an imperfect world.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

The courts are the front wheel of the tricycle. The courts provide for movement and proper steering--guiding the back wheels of the police and the prisons by establishing rights and policies so that the tricycle riders of Justice aren't doing wheelies and falling over backwards all the time.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

- drawn from the weeds
- brave like soldiers
- falling down under the pale moonlight
- like a someone broken
- stand in the wind
- free like water
- warmth of the sun
- both been shaken

Using five or more will gain extra credit.

Justice is a team of people who are brave like soldiers as criminals have been drawn from the weeds of society, which has been falling down under the pale moonlight like a someone broken, so that others may be free like water.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Extra credit will be given to those who write their answer in the style of Dr. Seuss.

There is no object that Justice cannot be likened to.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I would use a spork. Maybe not as a battle cry, because it doesn't carry well across long distances. As a metaphor, however, it is a versatile tool that allows you to eat both solid and liquid foods, like I would hope to be able to help in a situation requiring me to help the cause of Justice.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

In my opinion, justice does not work in Fandom. What we have here is vigilantism and martial law that has taken the place of a legal system.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

The average person can do nothing in the face of this Injustice. The laws of our country deserve to be respected. Our legal system may not be perfect, but it works well in general and it is better for an guilty person to go free (if, even, he is guilty--if there was more evidence, he probably would have been convicted, after all) than for an innocent man to imprisoned for something he didn't do. Also, it's possible that facts will come to light later that would justify the jury's decision.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

The front wheel represent the courts, they put the law into practice and steer the system into the right direction. The rear wheels are the police and the prisons, they bring balance to the Justice system. The police enforces the law in daily life and the prisons punishes those that do not abide by it.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:…

While Justice is actually a big part of our daily life, it wasn’t until these classes that I realised just how much a part it was. Justice was drawn from the weeds of my mind thanks to professor Tick. He made us understand that those who fight for Justice must be brave like soldiers even if that sometimes means that we’ll end up falling down under the pale moonlight. When Justice prevails, society can be free like water. Every civilian can do as they want as long as the follow the riverbed that the laws have laid out for us and there society can back underneath the warmth of the sun and shine. However there are always those who feel a need to stand in the wind and go against the law. Still, whether we follow the law or not, we both be shaken without it because it is a guideline in our lives and we’d all be like a someone broken if there was no Justice.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Justice is worth fighting for even if sometimes the lines between right and good tend to be blurry.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I would try to balance a spoon on the tip of my nose to show how precious the balance between Justice and chaos is.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

Justice in Fandom seems to somehow find its own sort of balance. I think however that we could use a proper courthouse because it feels like the Sheriff is a bit arbitrary in her decisions.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

I would compensate for the mouse’s loss (as I am assuming the marmoset will eat the pie immediately) and then try to talk the marmoset into getting out of the tree. I would try to find out its reasons for stealing the pie. Is the marmoset starving and unable to buy food? Or is it just being greedy. If the marmoset refuses to come down, I would try to lure it with an even bigger pie and then deliver it to the marmoset court.

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

The average person can probably do not much more than keep an eye out for this criminal and make sure that he doesn’t repeat his crimes. If he does, one should contact the police.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

I would say that the police would be the front wheel, with the prisons and the courts serving as the back two wheels. But without someone to ride the tricycle, to use it for its intended purposes, it would just rust in the Driveway of Society. In my galaxy, I would say that the Jedi ride on the Tricycle of Justice, trying to keep it off the Lawn of Political Intrigues.

But we don't actually ride tricycles. Just making that clear.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

- drawn from the weeds
- brave like soldiers
- falling down under the pale moonlight
- like a someone broken
- stand in the wind
- free like water
- warmth of the sun
- both been shaken

Anakin rested his face in his hands for a good thirty seconds when he read this question.

Then he wrote:

Sometimes it feels that Justice is like a someone broken, with the Jedi standing in the wind and being buffeted around by forces we can't control and having no more chance against it than some kind of fragile insect that has been drawn from the weeds.

But Jedi will continue going out in pairs to try to fix things, and even if we've both been shaken, occasionally falling down under the pale moonlight, we'll continue to be brave like soldiers.

Because Justice shouldn't just be for the beings with political power—everyone in the galaxy should be free like water and feel the warmth of the sun. Or suns. Or stay indoors if they are a species that prefers to stay indoors.

But they should be free. ~~I can't believe I wrote this~~

Using five or more will gain extra credit.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Extra credit will be given to those who write their answer in the style of Dr. Seuss.

Anakin didn't know who Dr. Seuss was, woe.

I have learned that Justice is a more widely applicable concept than what some members of the Galactic Senate would currently prefer. I've learned about the Darwinian concept of Justice and look forward to being the Vending Machine of Justice and squashing wrongdoers back home.

I still don't get this whole tricycle thing.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

Even when your hope and faith have both been shaken until they are like a someone broken, Justice helps you stand in the wind after falling down under the pale moonlight, until the warmth of the sun flows free like water enabling you to be brave like soldiers drawn from the weeds were the wild bees swarm.

For the most part. As to why, it just seems to.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim?

I would bring in the ~~tiny~~ ninja from the Sin, since she apparently quite likes pie, she retrieve it from the marmoset in exchange for a slice from the mouse. Problem solved.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

Cops are right up front cuz they're the iron hang of justice or something. Besides, if justice is blind, you probably shouldn't have the courts right up front in the driver's wheel, you know?

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

When you're falling down under the pale moonlight like a someone broken, you need to be brave like soldiers drawn from the weeds. Justice helps you be free like water under the warmth of the sun when you've both been shaken. And then you can stand in the wind.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

I will not vigilante in a box.
I will not vigilante with a fox.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I would use a spork as a threat against those who did not do justice. Along with my battlecry of "CHUNG CHUNG". (Suck it, Marty.)

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

Sure. The Mayor's scary.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

I'll get my handy spork, riding in on my tricycle of justice and saying "CHUNG CHUNG" and explain to the marmoset that it is now an evildoer and must be brought back to justice like a someone broken. And it will be so confused that it will give the pie back to the mouse.

Alternately, I can call the Sin, leave an anonymous tip that there's pie, and Miho will take care of it.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

I believe the police are the front wheel and drive the courts and prisons. It's not an ideal system, because it gives the police more power than the other two, but it can only be changed by the people riding it.

I believe that Justice forces us to be brave like soldiers when we are like a someone broken. When it works, we can stand in the wind and enjoy the warmth of the sun and it when it fails we will be falling down in the pale moonlight. But as long as we try to ensure Justice is served, we will be free like water. ~~and I hate you for making me use the lyrics from that song, OMG!~~

Justice is quite catching, you see. Like a disease.
It takes just one person fighting to starts others fighting with ease.

And serving Justice with all of their might.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

Justice is a spork; a multi-use tool that can work for everyone.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

I believe that Justice works in Fandom in the same unique way that everything else works here; by learning to rely on each other and working together.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

An average person can conduct their own investigation into the situation by ~~violating the privacy of everyone close to them~~ examining public records for inconsistancies. They can ~~accuse the people they love~~ ask questions of people involved and find evidence to raise reasonable doubt and ~~get locked in a freezer and set on fire by the real killer~~ take it to the police.

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

The courts decide the laws, and so steer the Tricycle of Justice, while the police and the prisons provide support and stability for the rest of the tricycle.

~~You have got to be joking. I can't live with myself.~~

To be an agent of Justice is to sometimes stand in the wind and be beaten about the face with the gale winds and hailstones of criminal behavior. It's a daunting position to be sure, and doing one's duty in the pursuit of Justice can often leave one feeling like a someone broken, but when the storm of criminal activity breaks it's a rewarding feeling to bask in the warmth of the sun and know that while one's devotion and resolve may have both been shaken by the ordeal, one can look back on a job well done and say "We were brave like soldiers."

~~Dear God, I hate you.~~

I will not give a Smurf a shirt.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I feel soup ladles are underappreciated. And that the phrase 'The Ladle of Justice will serve your punishment/reward' has a certain ring to it. If nothing else, I've learned not to underestimate the importance of a good battle cry.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

If Justice works in Fandom, it's employed as a court jester with a truly black sense of humour. I need only to point to the laundry machine incident as proof.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

Sir, I have no idea what the average person would do, as "average" is the last term I would use to describe the situations and examples we have studied in this class.

It's not Archie's best work by a long shot, but he tried to watch Crime and Punishment episodes as part of his study routine, and that only confused him more.

[[Now with decent coding. I hope.]]

1. The police are the front wheel of the Tricyle, steering Society in the right direction and supported by the courts and the prisons.

2. Justice is something that is enacted in order to keep society from falling down under the pale moonlight. Those who work in the name of Justice may come from many different walks of society. Whether they were drawn from the weeds or raised to do so from birth, it is possible for them all to be brave like soldiers. These soldiers of Justice stand in the wind of Injustice in order to shelter society. Though Society and Justice have both been shaken on many occassions by this wind of Injustice, the soldiers of Justice work hard to ensure that people remain free like water, and able to enjoy the warmth of the sun on safe streets.

3. Justice, you see, is not always the same
For you, or for me, and it isn't a game...

Depending on their background and personal beliefs, everyone is going to have a different idea of what "Justice" means. Just because someone's idea of Justice does not match yours, it doesn't make it wrong. What works in one situation might not work in another, and so, if you happen to be a group of people fighting for Justice, it would be a good idea to include those with different perspectives, so that you can look at a situation from many different angles and attempt to find a solution that will hopefully work well enough for everyone.

4. I would actually use several utensils. A fork, knife, and a spoon- they could all represent different approaches to Justice. Just like different types of meals require different types of utensils- it's useless to attempt eating soup with a fork, for example- those who work in the name of Justice must always have different tools at their disposal. Failing that, I suppose they could be used as weapons.

5. Justice in Fandom works... so far.

It seems to be largely eye-for-an-eye- if something bad happens, the wronged party (or those acting on behalf of them) avenges these actions. I have yet to see anything involving a fair trial. Though this kind of Justice has always resulted favourably for those working on the side of Good so far, it may not always. When that time comes, it may be that Fandom's lack of experience with a judicial system may cause Justice to fail.

6. I'd point out that a mouse-sized pie is really not going to be very filling for a marmoset, which is much bigger. The marmoset would have to steal many more mouse-sized pies in order to satisfy its craving. This would lead to a hollow existence in which the marmoset thought of nothing but pie all day every day. Hopefully the marmoset would see how sad this would be to end up like that, and return the pie to its rightful owner.

Janet turned in her paper on Justice and trains. It included such phrases as the "Tunnel of Justice," the "Third Rail of Iniquity" and "Jumping The Turnstile Of The Law Is Frowned Upon." Comparisons between criminals and rats were running high and it was entirely possible that buskers were generally considered to be harmless entertainment unless they were horribly off-key. ~~It was, in fact, almost like Janet was comparing the El to Justice.~~

1. Front wheel - courts which decide upon the laws guide the police in enforcement of said laws and penal system in punishment of those who break thelaws.

2. The victim of a crime is like someone broken, but the police are falling down under the pale moonlight if they don't try to make sure the criminals don't go free like water in the warmth of the sun to stand in the wind. But the people standing up to injustice should be brave like soldiers and maybe get hazard pay.

There were a lot of scribbled-out sections on question two.

3. Working for Justice is the highest calling a hero can have--with or without superpowers.

4. A scalpel is a kind of knife. I think that 'scalpel' could symbolize how Injustice (which is kind of gangrenous and icky and spreads when it's left unchecked) could be excised--within the limits of the law and the justice system--to keep it from harming society. Which would make Justice system the Immune System of society.

5. Yes. Absolutely. But not necessarily in the traditional way. Sometimes the authorities of Fandom can't take action and other people have to step in to ensure that Injustice is taken care of.

~~6B. Aside from hiring Veronica Mars? I have no clue.~~

6A. I'd call Anakin or Elizabeth Weir, both of whom are trained in negotiation, and ask them for help, first of all. But if neither of them were available, I'd ~~threaten that thing with needling omg~~ try to be reasonable with the marmoset and explain about things like property law and how the mouse put all that effort into baking the pie to share with its friends and family for dinner that night. ~~And if that failed, I'd get an axe. Or a slingshot.~~ But I wouldn't try to talk the mouse into giving any pie to the marmoset, because you don't negotiate with pie terrorists. And if all else really failed, I'd find Anakin and ask him to use his telekinesis to get the pie back.

The crossed-out bits on that one were pretty heavily crossed out.

Logan took the final exam.

Logan, Cal, and Janet? This one's for you.

On the Care and Training of Justice

Much like a small puppy, within every Justice System there exists great potential for both great service or disservice to Mankind. As with the puppy the fulfillment of this potential has much to do with how it is treated within is earliest days.

A puppy treated too leniently will grow into an near uncontrollable dog, too harshly, a timid broken one, often prone to acts of viciousness. One treated with a firm, gentle hand, however, will grow into a loyal, well behaved, animal. So it is with Justice.

An idea of Justice which is too lax or too strict, will often lead to a lawless Society, with either lack of deterrent to prevent crime, or no hope of mercy if caught to encourage worse ones. Often by the time such flaws are widespread enough to be noticeable, it is too late to fix the system.

On the other hand, a system based on clear judgment, punishment tempered with compassion, and the hope of a change for the better, will create, not a perfect society, but one which has the potential to one day be.

A train chugs along on the Tunnel of Justice and hopefully never shorts out or has a sudden halt because someone has run afoul of the Third Rail of iniquity. The Tunnels of Justice are dingy and grimy sometimes, but the Justice Train Employees work diligiently to clean everything up and put it in lawful order, and shoo away the rats and trash and other icky things. But the thing they most watch out for is Jumping The Turnstile of the Law. Because everyone had to obey the law, make sure they didn't leave their boxes and bags unattended, and generally be good citiziens to make sure that the Trains of Justice run on time.

Logan turned in a hastily-written make-up essay.

For chattering after the test.

Angel was there. He looked tired, but he was there.

Jaye's glaring at the wee dragon. A lot.

"Yes sir?" Rory asked, startled.

Oh Tick, how I wish I'd crashed this class all semester.
