Have you ever heard “its the principle” before?
You won’t hear that in matters of law.
Law is based on cultural values, principles, agreed upon standards of behavior and then incredibly enforced by negotiated agreement due to logistical constraints.
A very strange situation this is, because everything we are taught regarding “do the right thing” and “be honest” and “stand up for what is right” and “call a spade a spade” and “protect your rights” and “do unto others” goes out the window when you enter this strange world of adrenalin junky legal types who have no real grasp of any of that any more and the highest bidder wins.
Its the principle of the matter that gets me.
