Rules

I used to think that all the world's problems would be solved if people would just follow one rule. I've had to revise that a bit. Two rules. If everyone followed these two rules, everything would work out just fine.

1. Don't be an asshole.
2. Don't be an idiot.


With the following corollaries:

1. Tell the truth.
2. Keep your word.
3. Take responsibility for your actions.

Add in a fair amount of "learn from your mistakes" and I think pretty much everything is covered.
