>You should have added "I think it's not sad", because it's your opinion Then why didn't you add that when you said >it is a shame that some judge can decide what is reasonable and what isn't when that is your opinion? And whether or not it's an opinion is irrelevant, because it is exactly the way the system is intended to work. And there are checks and balances against your hypothetical situation, namely appeals. Hyperbole about duly appointed judges being 'gods' notwithstanding. (Also, a king by definition earned respect? Do you know how monarchies work?)
