Since Stephen Colbert inspired us to think about the meaning of "truthiness", I wanted to be the first to introduce the word "fairlessness". You never know when a word like this may come in handy, but what does it mean? In order to be fairless, one must be fearless about being less than fair. In other words, if you would be fairless, you must blatantly call for, or enact, unfair laws, principles and polices in the name of fairness. Fairlessness abounds in our world, and when ever someone begins a sentence with "We all have to make sacifices..." or "In order to create a level playing field...", you know that you will soon be up to your knees in fairlessness. At least now you have a name for it.
Fairless, adj: describing the quality of being fearless about being less than fair.
