The Four Attitudes

Rules help us live together in peace
Rules give the hawk control of the geese
Rules are for fools
Who lack the tools
Rules light the way the whole world to fleece!

But the clerics have their rules, solicitors have their rules, etc., "and never the twain shall meet"! Aloha! Rico

Trump, his attorneys, and judges, have led the world in believing mastery of the last three attitudes is more profitable than living together in peace. Aloha! Rico

It's one way of seeing it. At the same time, rules are necessary for order. Too bad I can't be making the rules. hahaha
