	~~[Terra~~: ~~note about~~ the word "~~unfairness~~". I think we should rethink using the word fairness, so as to think of the concept of "commons" instead, and ~~the~~ shift of "too much to private control of too few people". I don't want to scare people who are afraid of sustainability...because they seem, in my research, to fear people taking their money, property, whatever, in the name of "fairness". Their concept of fair is that if they "work harder" (in their definition), then they own more stuff. Perhaps use teh word facilitating? encouraging fairness in all of its forms? Critics are all over the concept of "periodic wealth redistribution". I think that we should embrace that, and make references to age old texts, like the Old Testament, which encourage humans to redistribute wealth every 50 years. I think I could get the Southern Baptists to go along with that. I have connections to national level disaster relief managers in Christian networks who seem attune to the need for redistribution. It's just a matter of "how" to do it...]		Ideas on how to rethink "fairness":

			Potential new phrases as replacement for the word "fairness":

			- A strong COMMONS
			- Too much control by too few people

			Terra:I think we should rethink using the word fairness, so as to think of the concept of A STRONG "commons" instead, and/or shift society away from "too much to private control of too few people".
