The "common good" is a nebulous concept to the point of being meaningless. The term "common good" is as ambiguous as "social justice". I could ask 100 people to define social justice and no one would provide the same answer as any other. This provides many employment opportunities for lawyers, however, it certainly doesn't provide anything I would define as the "common good". <br /><br />The purpose of government is to secure certain and inalienable rights. Any forays into promoting the "common good" will certainly do more to harm this purpose than it will to promote the common good, as our present situation so amply illustrates.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-90532674920732015652016-04-25T05:01:57.160-04:002016-04-25T05:01:57.160-04:00I also agree with the most of your propositions, a...I also agree with the most of your propositions, and this problem can be considered as philosophical.

For if the common good were actually common, there would be no need for a justice system to mitigate disputes. The common good as you mean it, is an idea I wholeheartedly love to indulge. However, the element signified by, and inherent to this amorphous NP is simply a fiction. Instead of a legal fiction we have a linguistic fiction. When you say "chair," that's one thing for which most people's referent is actually common. Not so with common good. I personally do not believe that issues are so clean cut, that it would be possible to command rational decisions on such an ambiguous concept. The test for deliberating on which side to rule against would simply be morphed into a deliberation of which side exemplifies the common good to the greatest extent. But, who fuckin really knows? vpfrontingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-32389995932345872482012-10-18T15:50:02.231-04:002012-10-18T15:50:02.231-04:00very very thanks for your kind information.. i alw...very very thanks for your kind information.. i always suggest people to go to this web sites for learning english language<br /><a href="www.professays.com" rel="nofollow"> custom research paper</a><br />Ronhttp://www.professays.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-60238188433420849252012-06-22T14:37:04.248-04:002012-06-22T14:37:04.248-04:00hello thank you very much for this information so ...hello thank you very much for this information so importantsports handicapping serviceshttp://www.priceperheadcostarica.com/betting-software-services/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-33742584259275376762012-05-23T04:11:17.348-04:002012-05-23T04:11:17.348-04:00Please keep us updated on the progress, this is ve...Please keep us updated on the progress, this is very interesting stuff.English übersetzerhttp://www.native-translator.de/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-82200726275880576432012-05-23T04:09:06.386-04:002012-05-23T04:09:06.386-04:00Your blog is really interesting reading for a lega...Your blog is really interesting reading for a legal translator who considers joing university again.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Translatorhttp://www.native-translator.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842538379870316388.post-27151420870008333552012-04-20T19:19:33.487-04:002012-04-20T19:19:33.487-04:00Hi!
