No, what is legal is lawful. Maybe you are thinking of the word "fair."And you believe that was wrong? Why? What do their laws say?
Well. What Legal is very, very, seldom lawful, ding. Know what I mean?
Think of that lion as eminent domain. It isn't always fair, but it is legal and lawful.
And I dispute your assertion that what is legal is very, very seldom fair. Actually, it quite often is fair.
