Your analogy is flawed.  I believe that the world owes me a comfortable living, where I am king.   However, my belief will do nothing to change the reality of life for me. [b] Justice is what our society and the people in it believe is just.[/b]  Societies administer justice and they don't particularly care about one individual's beliefs about fonts.  And as a practical matter, many types of philosophies have converged on some common social norms.[/quote]

What about other societies?  They also choose what is just for them.  And, yes, societies do not always care about what individuals believe about justice.  Can you live with the consequences of the materialist view of justice?

Well of course.  Sometimes we have boycotts and wars and international aid and war crimes tribunals for exactly that reason.

The question is not whether I can live with it.  We don't get to have universal justice merely because we really, really want it.[/quote]
