"The Fallacy of Fairness"

Thomas Sowell is someone my father turned me onto a while back. He wrote this article in four parts that deal with what he calls the "fallacy of fairness". When I read this I could not help but think of Satan's plan in the premortal life. Satan proposed to alter fathers plan by saying he could save all of mankind. Which there was no way that was possible, salvation only comes through Christ. that topic will have to be addressed latter.

No doubt fairness and equality were among the arguments made by Satan in the premortal world. Satan takes truth and distorts it. We can see how he has distorted the virtue of equality in the arguments for same sex marriage. We can see how he has distorted the roles of men and woman all in the name of equality and how it has effected the family. We see in our society many trying to bring about “social justice” by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, all this is done in the name of fairness and equality. More then 60 Million people have died in the 20th century as a result of Communism. which at its heart is fairness and equality. One thing president Benson said the Book of Mormon does is expose the enemies of Christ. Just about all the enemies of Christ in the Book of Mormon use the argument of fairness and equality in one form or another to bring about there own power. That really is at the heart of those who champion equality and fairness; power, money and populariy. Anyway, Thomas Sowell wrote this article in four small instalments. It will probably take you 5 minutes to read. hope you like them.
