I can understand why your kids would feel that way, especially if that's the only answer you can offer them. Although there's some truth to the question, it's a great question to ask without being totalliy apathetic. It's like saying, "Why should I care if it's unfair?"

But we aren't talking about making life fair, are we? We're talking about changing an insitution that has inequities. There's a difference. But I guess most pacifists would rather just leave things they way they are, no matter how wrong things may be.
