That is justice, though. Both as conceptualized and as realized in modern and historical societies, justice has and does include punishment and even torture. Trying to get "justice" without vengeance or punishment is futile, because these are essential aspects of justice.
Let's just move past justice and ask ourselves what would best serve us in its place.
How would abolishing capital punishment increase accuracy of verdicts in criminal cases? Presumably, sentencing innocent people to life imprisonment is also an outcome that should be avoided.
Now you're just being an idiot. It's clear evidence of what you said there was no evidence of. Please don't waste any more of my time in the future.

GL HF, hope you learn how to use Google soon.
There's no reason to believe that if you haven't paid attention to their previous bullshit.
The other day a conspiracy nut tried to tell me that Kill Bill wasn't a documentary and that they filmed the whole thing on a sound stage somewhere in Los Angeles.
In case you're still looking, pipe dot seems to be doing a good job, although the amount of community involvement isn't that high yet.
Wishing the banking industry on the world reveals your ignorance or malice.
The last time I was in Shenzhen, it was perfectly sunny and in fact too hot outside. Neither did I notice any haze when I was in Hong Kong last month. Maybe you picked a bad time to go.
When I looked at Soylent News this morning, there were 5 or so stories with less than 5 comments, and the quality of some of the last few submissions has actually been worse than what we typically see here. I'd like SN to succeed and viable competition should force Slashdot to improve, but it's going to take some real effort.
Sorry, but it sounds like you don't know how pervasive monocultures are in modern agriculture. Thanks to globalization, even peasants living largely without the benefit of industrialization grow whichever crop will earn them the most money. Just as an example, in Laos, one of the least developed countries in the world, state-owned Chinese corporations are creating huge rubber plantations at the expense of huge swaths of native ecosystems. The chicken exists because of its commoditization, and it will take just one commodity that's more profitable to wipe it out entirely. Don't underestimate the degree to which economics has already shaped most--if not all--of the modern world.
The actual solution to unfair property taxes is to adjust property taxes.
Let's not pretend that the USPTO is doing anything acceptable or would be doing anything acceptable in any hypothetical universe.
Well, the cost of cameras will continue to decrease, and the ease of processing video and integrating it with other data in useful ways will continue to increase, so the number of cameras being used in public is going to increase. That's not going to change, so you're probably going to have to deal with it.
