I still don't buy it. I've liven my whole life going by laws, rules, and regulations. Regimentation is nothing new to me.
As an example, for most of us, lying is against the rules in life. Yet children are lied to all the time in the form of the Easter bunny, Tooth Fairy, and Santa Clause.
Or another example, say the posted speed limit is 65 MPH, but the flow of traffic is 75 MPH, ill wager you'll be going with the flow of traffic, or at a minimum, doing 5 over. Furthermore, more often then not, someone doing the speed limit, or even 5 under, becomes a safety hazard to the flow of traffic.
Don't tell me you have NEVER crossed the street outside boundaries of a crosswalk.
What I'm saying is that 100% strict adherence to the letter of rules and laws is unrealistic, and unattainable. We all bend or break them a little bit, even the most high moral and law abiding amongst us in society.
