Good post, but I would take exception to the "fair" word IRT making laws. That is the road that liberals and progressives have used to implement a progressive income tax, as well as other social equalization legislation. Is it fair that someone is smarter or more productive than his neighbor? No, but the libs think that laws can make it so. It extends to other areas too, especially economics. I think equality before the law is a much better yardstick, where no man is given a either advantage or disadvantage because of his circumstance or connections.
I see your point, and agree that when idiots are involved in the interpretation of FAIR, one can run many miles in the wrong direction. I see no difference in the word "fair" and the phrase "equality before the law." But perhaps the phrase is more specific, and God knows, we need specificity in our laws in an age of
"What is the meaning of IS?" Point taken
