Wrong; Everything is ultimately fair in the general sense. It is only when you look at specific instances in isolation that nothing seems fair. The big picture is fair :) I think it's time we had some definitions of fairness. Little children have an inherent concept of fairness -- one can hear "that's not FAIR" even from two year olds. But what IS fairness? How can we know what is fair if we can't define it? Every discussion ultimately comes down to definitions of key terms. This one certainly will if we can ever agree on a definition.

Death By Government - In the 20th century, alone: The Soviet Union starved to death 20 million anti-Stalinists and anti-Communists. Nazi Germany killed 13 million Jews, Gypsies and anti-Nazis in concentration camps. 20 million Chinese were killed during "reforms" by the Communist Chinese government. 1 million educated people were slaughtered in Cambodia. And so on and so forth, not even mentioning those killed by wars, those raped, tortured, those who starved to death in famines, those who lost their homes and everything they owned as the result of man's inhumanity to man. Where is the fairness? God is fair. Man is not. I refuse to believe that genocidal man is the instrument of God, and that Death By Government is God's will.
