Every so often, I find something like this in my mail:
“You are obviously against the war in Iraq. Why don’t you speak out against it in your blog?”

A Fair Cop
For today’s mailbag, I think I’m going to leave one for tomorrow and answer some of the more fun comments I’ve had. I had this in response to my bit on Fairness:
Small World
I’ve heard a few stories, large and small, about how the recent turmoil is effecting the global financial markets that I’d like to tell you about. Together, they paint a picture of just what can go wrong when too much is never enough.
Fairness
Fairness is an important concept in this thing we call Civilization. If we all lived as hunters and gatherers on the grasslands, we wouldn’t have a lot of interaction with large groups of people. The inevitable disputes that arise could be settled by a simple code or the intervention of an elder.
School Daze
Tuesday was the first day of school.
My kids are old enough that it’s not that big of a deal. Yes, they were looking forward to seeing their friends again. No, they didn’t like the idea of sitting in a structured environment all day. The week leading up to the big event was a combination of fear and hope, happiness and depression.
