is common. And sometimes
appropriate. At least if you
believe all of that Emily Post,
Amy Vanderbilt stuff. They say
sometimes it’s best to dispense
with a rule or two in order to
present oneself in the most
proper manner. But where do
you reside on the Rules Were
Made to Be Broken scale? I
am not an adamant no, I break
a rule or two most every day,
at the very least. But I also
find civility and the rule of law
necessary. And when those
who are given the role of
making the rules begin to
break them—and at great
cost to those of us who
aren’t the ones designated
to do such? Well, there’s
always revolution, I suppose.
