No, kovidgoyal, your position is clear. It's all those that think that just because THEY don't agree with a rule that it should not apply to them.
My example should be very clear to others. kovidgoyal does not want to be troubled by those that think the rules don't apply to them.
But think of yourself as a cabin attendant. You are told that you MUST ask the passengers to turn off ALL electronic devices. I'm willing to bet that many of them agree with you and I.
They want to keep their job, and they will do it. Why make even a minor problem for them.
And if you do turn "it" off before they get to you, they will probably think nothing more of you than "nice guy".
If they have to ask
another passenger to turn "it" off I don't think that "nice guy" will be what they will be thinking.
".... Are you saying (like lots of politicians seem to do these days) that the act of questioning a rule/law is itself wrong?"
Oh I think that many of the laws in the past 40 years are not only wrong, but that
some of them are unconstitutional. But the government has the "law" and the guns. THERE WILL BE DONE.
