"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact." ~Honoré de Balzac

"Fairness" is a ridiculous concept from a purely physical and psychological standpoint. As such it falls into the category of Natural Law, the idea that there is a moral and spiritaul code that transcends this physical universe and hence it is evidence for the existence of God. But oddly enough the biggest proponenents of "equity" and "fairness" are those who do not believe in God but rather that the material universe is all. If you believe that then you should dismiss the current bedrock of postmodern civilization as silly nonsense because there is and can be no such thing as fairness. And to pursue it as an ideal is a waste of time and energy. Is the lion unfair to the gazelle when it kills and eats him? Sure, but the lion doesn't care. The lion is a natural creature and accepts the world as it is. Only human beings refuse to accept it as it is. So where does that come from?
