Thank you for this post Chad.  I am looking forward to part 2.  I too often think that the rules we enact are sometimes seemingly crazy and yet there was probably a reason for the initial creation.  I most often think of this when I am stripping down for a scan at the airport.

Maybe a rule is no longer relevant.  Maybe it is.  Certainly we should always review existing rules and laws with relevance in mind.

I'd talk more but I need to go scrape some gum off the bottom of the desks in my classroom.
