Mar. 25th, 2009 11:36 pmRules are there, as Terry Pratchett says, so that you think twice before breaking them.
If you break them, chances are, there will be consequences.
If you break them while in the possession of that knowledge, chances are, you'll be prepared to accept those consequences. You may be surprised that the law actually does something, or that Ma'am Chups is ten times as vigilant as Sir Talaue was, or you may not, but there's no denying that you're not ready with an alibi if ever.
If the consequences you receive don't correspond to the rules, there's not much point in making said rules in the first place.
If I read the phrase "a true friend" one more time I will be sick.
