Life ought to be fair -- it might not be and we need to accept that, but it ought to be and we should try to make it so.

Dandandat,

Perhaps. I don't think, for example, that because someone has a million dollars, that I too ought to have a million dollars. But perhaps you're not speaking of money?

Well, I would say that statement makes it two simplistic. How would you get your million dollars? By taking it form someone else? – now that wouldn’t be fair to the someone you took it form and so is not a solution to the problem of making it fair for you.

Should money not matter, and everything be free and so making every one monetarily equal with out taking away form some one else – yes. Will that ever happen – Some day I hope but not for many many many many generations (if we don’t kill or over populate our selves).

That’s why I said “ought”, everything ought to be fair and we should strive to make it so. It should be one of those things we will never achieve but should try for anyway because at the end of the day we might not accomplish what we want we will still be that much closer, and that much closer is worth the effort.

So are you advocating Socialism?
