I’m very excited about it all! I’m excited about its mission and the possibilities it will have as well as getting to be a part of its initial process, the ground floor as was, as it begins.

During our first board meeting this week we had a long discussion on the meaning of the word "justice." I and another member had one meaning fixed in our heads, while most of the rest of the board had another. The more we talked, the more obvious it became that none of us was willing to concede our views to the other. It wasn’t a contentious discussion, nor even in the slightest bit heated. Just nine people with two very definite pictures of justice. It got me to wondering…

What is your definition of justice? I’m not looking for the "official" Webster’s definition. I can look that up for myself. What I want to know is, when you here the word "justice," what do you think of — and perhaps even what do you think of first or overwhelmingly? What comes to your mind and why?
