We should not need rules to prevent these things. But that is why we have Laws to govern countries .. Humans tend to push the envelope. Not that there is anything wrong with that, right, Evan. I am a man of the law, and respect the rules more than many. But, I find lately there are but a few of us who want to find that violation, and pounce. There is no question of the honesty or ethics of the person involved, but rather a rare breach of the rules, and it has become a quest to catch someone. I believe in the system, and believe in adherence to the rules. But, there becomes a point where common sense must prevail. I have seen too many unproven allegations destroy a person. There is something wrong with that. Evan L.
