Society has rules. Sometimes they are a drag. I am against many of the current ones. Socially and politically, I venture that I support far less rules than do you. You seem towards-socialist in your views. Talk about rules and enforcement! Regardless, lets look at a recent example. Rules for driving on a particular side of the street. As you have noted, these are -- for you -- not hard rules to follow. ~"Left or right, just tell me the rule, and I can easily adopt." you told us. Thus, I don't understand your visceral and psychically charged reaction to "enforcement". In this example, should driving on the right in the US simply be "encouraged" -- but getting right down to it -- its should be, like, "but hey, we are all free beings doing our thing! Rules are the man's power trip and should be ignored when not convenient" ? I tend to favor enfocement of laws that promote speed of use, safety and reduced "externalities" -- unwanted side effects if you will. What do you have when street side driving laws are not enforced: INDIA! Where the horn is more important than the steering wheel -- and traffic, at times, can entrophesize to primal chaos. And then it shuts down. No one gets anywhere, every horn is blaring, tempers flare, exaust is profuse, and sometimes its not even safe. Sort of like AMT. :) Is that your goal and vision for FFL?
