Tell me who's in charge around here.

Well, at least it gets the job done. Can't really say the same for "the law."

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

As I said, the law is to be used. There is nothing the law can't do. Your limits are your own.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

Look, normally I wouldn't bother with this kind of inane theoretical debate, but since I have nothing more pressing to do at this current moment in time, I will humor you. Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that you're correct, that "the law" is in fact a tool that can be used, without limits. Now, imagine this tool in the hands of a cowardly guttersnipe with a god complex and a sneaky weapon of mass murder. Said fine young upstanding citizen currently hides behind the law like a cheap carnival mask, twisting it into an unrecognizable parody of its former self while committing what basically amounts to genocide in the name of "the law" - his law. What then, hmm?

Tch. Hang "the law." Justice is what I care about.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I see. Then this is the kind of bias you hold.

I would argue that the true law and a made up law are two different things. I am here to find the truth, where ever it may lead me. I will use the law as a tool for the truth. No more, no less.

This place needs no more violence.

Tell me one thing - is everyone on this little island as stupid as you, or are you a special case?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Resorting to insults?

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

Just the truth. You said you're a fan of that.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately for you, the truth isn't the same as your juvenile opinion.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

Truth is made by the winners. Anyone who thinks truth is some absolute fixed entity is an idiot.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Who said I believed it was fixed? Merely that it's out there, winner or not. I didn't think you would want to get into a debate about what the "truth" means.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, like I said, I have nothing more pressing at the moment.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we could find it and make our decision.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

Find the truth? I make the truth - or haven't you been paying attention?

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

Then you "make" the truth of the government on this island? You "make" the truth of how our lives are dealt with as we arrive?

Come now.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

I make my own truth. You can believe what you want.

[milestoturn.livejournal.com]

I'm intrigued.

[torrefied.livejournal.com]

I tend to have that effect on people.
