So, you want things to be fair?

This passage from P.J. O'Rourke sounded like a conversation I have often had with my children:

I have a 10 year old at home, and she is always saying, �That�s not fair.� When she says that, I say, �Honey, you�re cute; that�s not fair. Your family is pretty well off; that�s not fair. You were born in America; that�s not fair. Honey, you had better pray to God that things don�t start getting fair for you.�
