Abraham Lincoln: The philosophy of the school room in one generation
will be the philosophy of government in the next.

--------------------------------

I've heard people say,"I deplore rules and laws that cannot possibly be enforced."

Does that mean the speaker won't obey a law or rule unless there's someone standing there with a stick to make them? Unless there's punishment? What's wrong with having rules or laws that one is expected to obey simply for a well-ordered society?

To quote an acquaintance, "When we act based on what's right, rather than on what we can do without getting caught, we act as mature adults, members of a community."
