American society is overly fond of one size fits all rules - that on one hand end up with adults being treated like children, and the dumbing down of culture and a restricting oeveryone's rights to protect the few from bad decisions - and on the other hand end up with overwatered cacti and tons of other kinds of shoddy work practices, and resulting products, because of a culture of not thinking just following the rules.
Neither of these problems are overwhelming - but fighting back with a realistic view of the world is simple, and effective at avoiding a whole mess of problems.
- bradleyland 13y agoI like that notion. I've always felt unfair using different determinations for different groups, but the way you've expressed it is very much like how we handle this kind of thing in our organization. We like to say, "it's not a problem until it becomes a problem." It provides a nice incentive as well. Don't like verbose, restrictive policies? Then everyone do their best not to be an asshole and we won't have to use them.
