Fairness?

SEE HERE Apparently all too many people think "fairness" is equality of result without equality of effort, skill, motivation, or commitment.  That's just nonsense.  It may be unfortunate that people are not created equal in ability or any of the other factors that may contribute to success, but denying the reality is just stupid.  Trying to use government force to level what nature has given us to work with just disincentivizes the very people we depend on for the creation of goods and services.  Do that and you end up with less goods and services to go around and instead of fairness you get increased suffering and inequity.  Reality is tough sometimes, but it is real and you can't fool Mother Nature as the old TV ad went.
