Social Justice For All

A letter in the March 28 issue under the title of "Social Justice" questioned the concept of seeking justice in America. As a citizen of this great democracy, it seems strange that anyone would desire an American society without justice for all. After all, we make such a pledge at many public events, and rightly so.
It is not necessary to construct shallow, hypothetical models to discuss the issue. There are too many in America who are injured, too many shunted aside, too many for whom justice has been denied, real cases from real life, that can be examined for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Social, judicial and economic justice are universally sought, not only by Americans, and I for one am dedicated to seeking them. We might differ in our effort to find and implement justice but to argue that we should not even make the effort to achieve, it seems out of step with the highest of American ideals.
The quest for justice in our history has been noble and has helped make our nation strong and a light on the hill to people around the world. It is the absence of justice that would destroy America, not it's achievement.
