Law is always going to be a compromise and it is true that those with 
the loudest voices will finish up designing the law. But its been my 
experience that when the law has produced something really unfair it 
has been not because of a fault in the law but because those with 
most money can hire the best lawyers - the little people tend not to 
be able to afford the appeals. Unfortunately those with the most 
money tend to be able to appoint the judges as well - from the top to 
the bottom of the system and whatever the system of judicial 
appointment in the nation you live in. So on the whole I'll trust law 
over individual judges. But law evolves like the rest of life so 
maybe we'll find a way to improve it if we ever find a way to improve 
ourselves
