i was only kidding about the justice system being the best in the world. actually, i have no idea whether it’s thebest in the world. it might be. who knows. it’s a big world. justice is a slippery concept. we were watching a youtube video about a nigerian village court where a theft accusation was being settled by elders with a vat of boiling oil in which the rightful party was supposed to not get burned. everyone semeed to beleive in it.. seemed to work for them. no one got hurt in the process. health, justice, these are local concepts. i don’t think it can be disputed that ourmedical system has some of the bitchingest toys int he world availabel to doctors, and some of the most interestingly complex insurance schemes in the world? but the best/ I don’t know. those people in nigeria with the boiing oil court looked pretty hale and hearty.
