Hmm, the folks at L.O.V.E. Vancouver have got me thinking (more)… What is the goal of equality? Does equality = dignity? If it does, then is The Law an effective tool (or a tool at all) for fighting inequalities/fighting for equality? In other words, is it possible to realize our dignity/dignities through The Law? Or is The Law another structure that co-opts/delimits resistance and social change?

It may be hard to think of the Law given the current state of the Justice system, but perhaps after a needed paradigm shift toward educating rather than punishing criminals, perhaps we can one day enjoy the freedom of existing in a country where individuals are empowered with the help of programs that do serve as a tool for individual empowerment in a way that everyone can overcome any problems encountered them from being healthy members of society conscious of creating always only harmonious interactions within their community and beyond
