Most of all, you’re American, which is REALLY unfair. You better hope life never becomes fair.

From P.J. O'Rourke in a speech at the Cato Institute.  

Back to my favorite line by him, in a Cato speech roughly twelve years ago he talked about how he would respond to his daughter when she told him something was “unfair.” O'Rourke would say “You’re very cute. That’s not fair. You’re fairly well to do. That’s very unfair. Most of all, you’re American, which is REALLY unfair. You better hope life never becomes fair.”
