Are the legal battles in our courts a kind of ritual conflict resolution?
Like the giant forest ants when they stand on four stiff legs to look as big as possible and hit each other with their front legs and antennae? They don't bite, but the mandibles are wide to show how well they could bite...
Instead we hit each other with paper, like subpoenas...
@futurebird it seems the courts are dictated by money and ability to pay lawyers rather than justice. The poor are disproportionately represented in prisons while those responsible for the wars, inequality and moral decline don't appear to be held accountable.
