Why do you think it's so important to justify text? I just looked at several 
print magazines I have l lying around: National Geographic - left aligned. 
Top Gear - left aligned. Guitarist - left aligned. However, most books I read 
are justified.

Personally I like left aligned text and when I design a website and use left 
aligned text, it's because I specifically want left aligned text, not because 
I'm too stupid to justify it.

Anyway, someone else has already pointed out the css way of mangling my 
websites, so I'll leave it at that :-)
