What is fair?

Don't Ask Don't Tell: Is it fair to ask heterosexual people to experience "forced intimacy" with homosexuals? Is it fair to let homosexuals bunk and shower with people they are sexually attracted to while not allowing heterosexuals do the same?

Economic fairness: Is it fair to take from someone who earned money and give it to someone who did not? Why bother busting your ass to earn if you can just have it handed to you? If you earned an A would you settle for a C and give the other letter grades to the people who fucked off all semester?

Education: Is it fair that someone who has never paid taxes drops their kids off at a public school and then at collage and pays basically nothing. All the time they expect people who have paid taxes to pay for their own kids and these children both?

Companies: Is it fair that your cable company can block their competition for web pages or slow them down to give all the advantages to their own partners?

Some folks seem to have a messed up idea of what is or is not fair. If it helps you, it seems fair. If it hurts you it seems unfair. No one can claim to be out of the mix. If you are someone in a place of power, you want to stay in power and thus helping people who are likely to vote for is an obvious bias.

Companies seem to think that "Gimmy gimmy gimmy!!!" is all that matters.
