I am not sexy.
If I were I probably wouldn't be spending my time blogging about the most un-sexy topics known to man. I'm not a genius. If I was I'd probably have myself a masters degree with a high paying job to match. But I do know people that are sexy, and in no way have they worked hard to look as they do. Plus I know people that are so very smart, and shockingly they were born with that intellect. This is not fair.
This isn't fair because they have one up on me ( some people have way more than one as well) I thought the Constitution shouted at us " You're all created equal!!!!"
What a lie.
OK, so it's not a lie exactly, but I could accept it as a lie if I interrupted that line to mean "We are all born on a level playing field." Obviously we are not. Not even close.
Some of us are born poor. Others are born rich. A few of us can grow amazing beards. Most just seem somewhere in the middle, but we are all born with different strengths and weaknesses and must find ways to overcome are failings and harness our special powers we are given.
So why the push for fairness? We all know the saying, " Life's not fair." And yet some Utopian seekers want to change this truth. They are attempting politically to level the playing field that has an infinite amount of humps.
As with all plans by these people to find fairness all they end up doing is bringing great people down. Why do they have the right to do this?
I say in the name of fairness you can't read the same author twice. All authors should get an equal amount of readers. You read a horror novel by that heterosexual Stephen king last week? Then your reading a romance biography this week by a tri sexual female author. Enjoyed Sean Hannity's new book? That's great, but now in the name of fairness I need you to blaze through some Noam Chomsky. Now let's add that all authors should be published because fairness is all about equality of outcome as well. Doesn't matter that someone wrote a terrible book. They should be published and read because I believe in fairness!
In reality we should all be looked at as equals in the government's eyes. This means that they shouldn't favor one citizen over another. My status in society shouldn't allow me to obtain benefits from Washington that another citizen isn't allowed to receive.
The problem is that in search for fairness......we are no longer equals.
If I own a business and the government tells me that I can't fire someone for because they are Mormon then how are they not favoring the Mormon? We are no longer equal in the government's eyes.
The only way to have "fairness" is for the government to be neutral. If Washington decides to protect what they deem, " The stepped on" then they are just like the mother that starts favoring the picked on child. Once she does that she has already chosen a side and she can no longer be neutral.
Utopia is a dream because we live in a society of imperfect people. Fairness is a dream because life isn't fair.
But if someone does figure out a way for me to be as equally handsome as Brad Pitt........I might change my average mind.
