Like many things in the world, the interpretation of the bumper sticker is left up to the individual and the infinite number of definitions that the notion of justice generates. To a man of God such as yourself, your idea of justice is generated by your theology and the foundation in the Word. For a non-believer or a believer involved in another faith system, the idea of justice can run directly counter to that of yours. In fact, they may see your attempt to stand up for justice in one area (abortion perhaps) as an injustice toward them and their freedoms. In each of the points that you provided, without a common definition of justice, little or nothing can be achieved without the capitulation of one side. Now, Free Tibet! - That's a bumper sticker! (Free Tibet with the purchase of one tibet of equal or lesser value?) Happy New Year brother, we haven’t conversed in a while.
