[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1037072, member: 2426"] I am in general a rules and order type of guy. I think that rules/laws should be written specifically to do specifically what they are intended to do. That way everybody can understand, and everybody can follow the rules/laws. I have tried to think of an analogy, but I can't think of one that is spot on. The closest I can come up with is taxes. A person or company could just list their income and pay whatever the tax rate is to be moral and pay "their fair share". However, there are a lot of loopholes, exemptions, and credits in the tax code. If a person buys a certain type of car, they can get thousands in tax credits. If a company does business a certain way, they can get certain deductions and credits. If a large corporation has income in certain countries, and moves that income to a different country, then a different, much of the corporation's revenue falls off of any country's legal ability to tax it. I don't agree with much, if any, of the credits/loopholes/exemptions that are in tax code. However, I will take advantage of any that affect me as long as they are in there. Don't get mad at people/corporations for using the actual rules to their benefit. Get mad at the tax code and get it changed. Likewise, don't get mad at GT football for using the rules, as written, to their benefit. Get upset with the way the rules are written and push for change so that everyone plays under the same rules.
