There are three men who all have been falsely accused and thrown into prision. It was a hot day when the "argument" started... Fred, one of the men said, "The people in a prision are treated with more "justice" then anyone out in the real world."
 
"Well, explain how you think that, Fred...", replied George... He really couldn't see how Fred could think this.
 
Fred replied, "To me, justice is everyone being treated fairly. And if you look at the prision you'll see... I get just the same amount of phone time as you... You eat the same thing as me... Hence "Justice".
 
China, the third convict, exclaimed, "That is ridiculous... 'Justice' is not obtainable... There is no such thing as Justice."
 
George says,"There has to be justice... it's the balance of the world... without it there would be chaos..."
 
"That's my point... Think about it..." retorted China. "Each of us was thrown in here even though we were not guilty... So, if that's justice then it's a flawed idea that does not exist."
 
"Yeah but if everyone were treated fairly then there would be 'Justice'... everyone getting the same consequences and rewards as everyone else," proclaimed Fred.
 
George attacked Fred,"I agree..."
