Procrustes was one of many villains defeated by the Greek hero Theseus. According to Greek mythology, Procrustes was a robber who killed his victims in a most cruel and unusual way. He made them lie on an iron bed and would force them to fit the bed by cutting off the parts that hung off the ends or by stretching those people who were too short. Something Procrustean, therefore, takes no account of individual differences but cruelly and mercilessly makes everything the same. And a "procrustean bed" is a scheme or pattern into which someone or something is arbitrarily forced.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE FOLLOWS THE SAME LAWS AND RECEIVES THE SAME PUNISHMENT FOR THE SAME CRIMES AUTOMATICALLY.
NO LAWYERS.
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE RICH AND OR "WELL CONNECTED" GET SPECIAL TREATMENT.
IT'S A PRETTY SIMPLE GODDAMNED CONCEPT.
I FRANKLY DON'T CARE IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT A "DEMOCRACY" OR A "REPUBLIC" OR A "COMMUNIST STATE" OR A "SOCIALIST UTOPIA" OR A "KLEPTOCRACY" OR A "MONARCHY" OR A "DICTATORSHIP" OR EVEN A "THEOCRACY".

JUSTICE SHOULD BE BLIND.
Yes, and that's what the law should be.
Exactly the same for everyone.
