Fair4All...

A QUESTION, A MANTRA & A HOPE - FOR ALL...

What's "fair" really?
Is 'fairness' about equality, justice, mercy?
Who is fair? Is it personal, legal or universal?
Or is it just a weather condition - one that life is certainly not?

Their explanation was that unrest often erupts when a wealthy middle class is weakened."
