Google entries are evidence? I've spoke to a legal professor about this and he asked me where I got this idea from.

Very interesting. I really do wonder from where an individual believes they get their authority to lord over another human being, if not by outright force.
I have a suspicion that those people who exercise "power" over others are really just people who are terribly afraid of being weak... so their actions are merely attempts are reassuring themselves that they have some measure of control in this world.
Are we not equal? Perhaps the defendant should lecture the judge on how to live, or decide punishment.
Certainly there are some rules we need to agree on. But at the same time, who decides?
