You people do realize that "fairness" is a human concept. Fairness does not exist, it is a manufactured concept. If fairness were real, there would be no predator/prey in the animal kingdom, all of the trees in the rainforest would be the same height, it would be sunny and 75 degrees everywhere. I can't fathom why your group is looking for something that doesn't exist. It seems silly and juvenile.

Well yes, fairness is a human concept not found in nature. So is justice --- does that mean that it is "silly and juvenile" to lock up murderers and rapists? So is democracy a human concept not practiced by "the trees in the rainforest", is that "silly and juvenile"? How about the Bill of Rights?

If you think it is silly and juvenile to live like human beings instead of animals and trees, feel free to go and live in the woods.

"Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time or war where every man is enemy to every man, the same is consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently no culture of the earth, no navigation nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and, which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." --- Hobbs, Leviathan

This is about being a "part of something" and making friends, it has nothing to do with changing the country for the better, otherwise they would be attacking the politicians, bureaucrats and Federal reserve. Instead these crooks are sipping on margaritas from their yachts and laughing at the "protests" they see on their plasma TV from the Caribbean.
