To me it is important to treat everyone fair rather that equal because, some people desurve better than what most people and some do more wrong than most people. What i am trying to say is that, say if some one killed someone and they got life in prison and then theres someone who just took candy fron the store, what are you going to to give them life in prison also just because that other person got it so you half to do the same to this person just to be fair. so when i say treat people fair i mean treat people they way the desurve to be treated. For instance someone graduated high school and worked hard, had just got into a good college that they desurve to be in, now your not gonna let the other person who just didnt care, and didnt graduate into a realy good college, because they didnt desurve to be there. So this is just an example of what i mean when i say treat people fair and not equaly. To treat someone equal means to treat or to give someone the same as another. To treat someone fair means to  give what they desurve. fair.
