Agreed. And then to take your analogy further, we tell our kids don't steal, don't hit, use your words to solve problems etc. Simple basic stuff. But, once they get into the "real world" they find out that - Hey, we really didn't mean all that stuff. - And they find out the large people have invented all sorts of excuses for doing exactly what we told them not to do!? sigh

We are failing, but have not yet failed. Posts like this are a glimmer of light.
