Hi,
Many times I do think that justice system at the time of my great-great-great-great grandfather was much MUCH better than what we have today. Apparantly, I am not alone. There are people in India who think that sticking to the systems in the past is the way to go. In the village of Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, they have a similar thing going on where five people (panchayat) come together and solve all the village problems according the age-old tradition. You can read about and decide for yourself.
I, for one, think that this is the way to go. ;)
Yours Sinerely,
