Fairness

  • The state, condition, or quality of being fair, or free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
Learning the lesson “Life isn’t fair” is one of childhood’s greatest bummers; instinctively we know that it should be. Thus we can either succumb and become opportunistic, or realize that fairness makes the world a better place and remains a value worth holding ~ and when reality trumps, we turn to justice. Following are excellent illustrations of people practicing fairness, seeking it, and responding to its absence.

Jan 2012: Back from Hiatus

She's alive! Al-ive!

Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!

First up, as you've noticed, is the site redesign (please forgive any wonky links, I'm on it). Full content will be returned in coming days, with some neat new features in pre-production.
