Secret rules

Reports the New York Times...

In the wake of the terrorism attempt Friday on a Northwest Airlines flight, federal officials on Saturday imposed new restrictions on travelers...

The government was vague about the steps it was taking, saying that it wanted the security experience to be “unpredictable” and that passengers would not find the same measures at every airport...

And by the way, do you know the speed limit where you live? Is it five miles faster than whatever the sign says? Eight? Ten, or maybe less, or maybe different on certain days of the week or at different hours? OK to go faster at 1 AM than at 1 PM?

Hey, who knows. I've never been a fan of rules, myself. Or the people who make them. The only problem is, these days the people who make them walk around with ski masks over their faces and if you don't pay attention to the rules, whatever they may be today, they can pull your fingernails out and throw you in jail forever. Just like that.

Do not step on the grass.

yea, who like rules. But rules regulate our freedom and at the same time it also makes our life more organized.
