Civilization is the process of converting a common law crime to civil law.
Is that a good thing?

In Europe it is often known that after one soccer team earns a goal the opposing teams spectators and fans will leave the stands and run across the field to murder the opposing side. How is murder and mayhem made civil in Europe? To call the Roman law civil is to mean civis or citizen, meaning within the city. Roman law is cosmopolitan in nature.. It is not to be construed as meaning civil conduct. Murdering christians was not civil. Letting jesuits loose on the Jews was not civil.
