> Yes, there are rules here. There were also rules when Jean Valjean stole that loaf of bread to feed his family in "Les Miserables". He knew he was breaking a rule, but thought the greater good demanded it. The inflexible enforcement of rules, when unleavened by sufficient compassion and the consideraton of mitigating factors, wherever it occurs, is just something I can't abide.
I think it's great that people are trying to be supportive. But how does one decide who gets bread and who doesn't?
