my intimate friends understand that I have a well developed- possibly overdeveloped- sense of justice.
I don’t talk about it very much. I will certainly never discuss it here.
What I will talk about is fairness. Kids are now taught a different type of ‘Fairness” than I got when I was a kid, and it blows chunks. Five year olds all get “participation trophies” because its not ‘Fair” when one group wins because the other group has to lose.
bullshit.
What isn’t fair is that the kid with natural talent who loves a game and practices four hours a day is given the same recognition as the snot nosed shit who shows up for this game only and is given the same ‘Trophy”. Morons.
Liberals would have you believe that ‘Fairness” requires that everyone have the same free and easy access to everything (Housing, healthcare, whatever) as everyone else.
What isn’t fair is when people who work and act responsibly and drag their ass out of bed every day to go to work get to contribute to the people who do not. When people do for others out of Christian compassion and charity, that is an object lesson in human behavior. When people are forced to give of their earned income to provide for the ungrateful, that is merely theft.
There may come a time when people- like me- with an overdeveloped sense of justice- will seek to act on behalf of the people who are being stolen from in the name of ‘Fairness”.
