[HANASHIR:9901] Re: Justice, justice...

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Dear Shirona,

I don't see what the problem is.  These lyrics seem clear, and any
misinterpretation would be the fault of the misinterpreter.

You might point out that justice is not synonymous with revenge (our
president's schoolyard posturing notwithstanding), and that complete
justice is not within human capabilities.

G'mar chatima tova.

I was very tempted to teach my 5th graders Doug Cotler's excellent song
"Justice, Justice" for obvious reasons - but I didn't.  Although I have all
the freedom I want in terms of curriculum (at Westchester Reform Temple in
Scarsdale NY) - I was concerned that the lyrics might be misinterpreted...
I was hoping to get your feedback...
  
This is the refrain:
  
Justice, Justice, I will pursue you
I will never cease  
To do what's right
The more there's Justice
The more there will be Peace...
  
Thanks,
Shirona
