No my friend, one of the first things I learned is life is not fair. I learned real quickly not to say "It's not fair." My dad always said the same thing, "Life is not fair. Get used to it." And yes, GH, do stop whining its so unbecoming of a man.

Everything isn't fair!!!!

In fact God is not fair!!!!

The Bible says God is Just!!!

That being said, while life, or government, or even people are not fair, I will try to do my best both for myself and for others!

Yeah... it took me around 27 years to realize this.

I think if you soften your approach a little bit, people might actually react to your words, rather than your tone.

We'll see... things go much faster here than I'm used to... and do I know you by another name perhaps?

I think there is a secret book that parents are given upon the birth of their first child. In it they learn all sorts of "wise" sayings...

Along with "Life's not fair"

We have.... "Because I said so..."

"Oh yeah? When I was your age....."

There are many more that escape me right now (as I never had any children and never got to read the secret book!)
